Feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or emotionally stuck can make even the simplest tasks feel exhausting. You might be constantly bracing for something bad to happen, replaying painful memories, or feeling detached from yourself or those around you. I help clients recognize that these patterns—though painful—are often the result of remarkable resilience in the face of past trauma. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Lady of the Lake University (2019), and my approach reframes these so-called “symptoms” as survival strategies that once protected you but now interfere with the life you want to lead.
Blending EMDR, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies, I guide clients through a process of understanding and releasing the coping tools that no longer serve them. Our sessions can be a space to practice new ways of navigating life—ones that offer more stability, connection, and calm.
If you’re ready to move from surviving to truly living, let’s begin this journey together. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today.
