You weren’t meant to carry it all alone. If you feel anxious in relationships, avoidant, like you're “too much” or “not enough,” or stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who you want to be, it makes sense. Often, these struggles trace back to early attachment experiences that shaped how we relate to others and ourselves. I work from an attachment lens to help you understand those roots with compassion. In our work together, we’ll use tools like EMDR to process painful memories or beliefs that keep you stuck, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you reconnect with your values and build a life that feels meaningful

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. As an EMDR therapist, I help you process what’s been holding you back so you can move forward with more ease. My style is warm, affirming, and down-to-earth, blending evidence-based tools with real talk, humor, and compassion.

I create an affirming space with special care for folks with minoritized identities, whether it relates to identity related trauma or thriving in today's world. I help veterinary and medical professionals, students in rigorous academic programs, young professionals, and people going through life transitions. I shine helping with relationship concerns.

Initially, we will spend time discussing what's bringing you in, your background, and your goals. As we build trust and get more comfortable with each other, with your permission, I will share about patterns and other things I am noticing that may be helpful to know. I listen attentively and ask clarifying questions to really understand your situation, and teach you tools for later.
