Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating depression or anxiety, struggling with self-worth, working through relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, you don’t have to do it alone. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and empowering, and I’ll meet you with care, respect, and curiosity each step of the way. I work with both individuals and couples, supporting people who feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, emotional shutdown, conflict, or persistent stress responses that don’t always make sense on the surface.
My approach integrates my certifications in the Gottman Method, EMDR, Polyvagal-Informed Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to support deep healing. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered—both within yourself and in your relationships.
Together, we’ll work to understand how your nervous system has adapted to past experiences, gently process what’s been held inside for too long, and build skills for emotional regulation, resilience, healthy coping, and more secure connections with others. If you are ready to start a healing journey, I would be honored to help you along the way.
