I work with creative, high-achieving individuals who are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or recovery from narcissistic abuse. My clients are curious, insightful, and sensitive - and tend to have a dark sense of humor - and often appear to have it all together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. In our sessions together, we can explore ways to calm your nervous system, ease anxiety, and heal trauma while cultivating personal growth and gaining confidence, clarity, and insight.
I bring an authentic, down-to-earth presence to my work. I’m actively engaged in sessions and offer honest, non-judgmental feedback and practical tools to help you make lasting change. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, and as a longtime, certified yoga therapist, I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices to support healing and resilience.
I often work with artists, creatives, performers, and entertainment industry professionals. With professional experience as an actor and writer, I have a deep respect for the creative process and the unique issues that creatives face as they pursue their dreams and goals. If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you and explore working together.

I combine talk therapy with body-based, trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR to help you calm anxiety, process trauma, and build practical tools for balance and confidence. Our work is collaborative and relational, exploring patterns, nervous system responses, and emotional blocks. I also draw on attachment theory and Eastern and Western philosophy to support insight and personal growth.
