You may look like you’re managing it all, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected, and perhaps have been carrying old wounds for years. My practice supports women seeking to heal from complex trauma, postpartum challenges, and identity shifts through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. I use an integrative approach combining EMDR, Internal Family Systems, cognitive strategies, and mind-body techniques to foster deep, lasting change. Together, we’ll create a grounded space to process what feels heavy, release old patterns, reconnect with your body and emotions, and rediscover your strength, clarity, and self-trust.
I strive to meet each client with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity. My approach is grounded yet deeply intuitive, blending evidence-based methods with techniques that honor the connection between emotional and physical healing. I specialize in supporting women as they navigate healing trauma recovery, perinatal challenges, and redefine themselves.
I believe healing happens in a safe, trusting relationship, one where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to reconnect with your inner wisdom. My role is to walk beside you as you release old survival patterns, build self-compassion, and rediscover the parts of yourself that feel most true and alive.

I primarily utilize trauma-focused techniques such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems. Helping you understand the various parts of yourself and how and why they work together creates more insight and self-compassion. While using cognitive and mindfulness based skills to help you better manage your emotions and triggers. Your treatment will be individualized and designed to help you heal
