Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like something just isn’t working—even though you’ve tried your best to hold it all together?
Whether you’re dealing with persistent anxiety, chronic stress, or relationship struggles, it may be more than just “too much going on.” Many of my clients discover that their current symptoms are deeply connected to earlier experiences—often childhood trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation that hasn’t yet been fully processed.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry this by yourself.
With over 20 years of experience, I help people heal from anxiety, childhood trauma, attachment concerns and mood challenges by getting to the root causes—not just managing symptoms. My approach blends evidence-based therapy like EMDR and somatic work with a holistic, trauma-informed lens that includes mind-body connection, cultural history, and deep healing
Taking the step to seek therapy is a brave choice, and I commend you for opening yourself to the process. I've helped folks just like you overcome mental health problems and create meaningful lives. Let's start the journey for you to heal. I look forward to hearing from you.
