You’ve worked hard to build a good life. You get things done and keep moving even when you’re running on empty. People are counting on you because you remember the details and you meet the deadlines. But inside, you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Your mind won’t slow down. You overthink, worry, beat yourself up, stay on high alert. The stress is affecting your sleep, digestion, relationships, & confidence. You know why you feel this way, but knowing why hasn’t been enough. You just haven't been able to fix it on your own. If this sounds like you, there's a way through. And it doesn't require trying harder.
I help professionals and creatives break patterns of anxiety, trauma, and overwhelm. We'll do more than just manage symptoms. We'll restore calm and confidence. My expertise includes insomnia, disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs) such as IBS, chronic pain, and ADHD, with an approach that considers how emotional and physical symptoms interact.
Insight alone won't break old patterns. True transformation happens when you move beyond understanding to targeted processing that resolves emotional pain at its root. Drawing from EMDR, IFS, ART, CBT, and hypnosis, my 28 years of specialized experience help you shift from feeling stuck to feeling free. Book a free 15-minute consultation today.

I work with adults facing anxiety, trauma, and mind-body issues. We start by identifying what's keeping you stuck, then move into targeted processing via EMDR, ART, IFS, CBT-I, or clinical hypnosis. For those who want faster results, half-day to 3-day EMDR intensives can accelerate the timeline. The goal: fewer symptoms, more resilience, and a real sense of control back in your life.

Sessions run 50 to 90 minutes and are collaborative, not passive. We'll move at a pace that respects where you are, with practical tools you can use between sessions. I love this work, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth energy to it, plus a good sense of humor when it fits. I'm here to walk alongside you, not just sit back and nod while you talk. We'll get things done, together.
