You feel anxious about everything and nothing in particular. No matter how much you try to relax, there’s a lingering sense that something isn’t right. You feel constantly on edge, trapped in cycles of overthinking, guilt & self-doubt. The roots of your anxiety seem just out of reach. To top it off, you feel disconnected from yourself. Though you crave connection, your relationships often feel distant and unsatisfying, and you often feel alone, even when you’re in a group. Therapy can help you find calm again, uncover the roots of loneliness, and build genuine connections. Relief is possible. I’m here to help.
I specialize in helping adults struggling with anxiety & trust issues learn to calm overwhelming emotions, feel secure in themselves, and create the relationships they want. Using brain & body-based therapies, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and release what’s holding you back so you can feel calm, confident, and connected to others and yourself.
If you’re looking for therapy that goes beyond understanding and changing thought patterns, and that instead engages the deeper connections between mind, body, and heart, I would love to discuss whether we would be a good fit to work together. Call or email me today to schedule a free consultation.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, childhood trauma, issues with family of origin, and emotional overwhelm. During our initial sessions, we'll identify the issues you need support with & collaborate on a plan for our work together. The goal is to build your emotional capacity, work through what's keeping you stuck, and make sustainable change so you can go from coping to thriving.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting, which allow for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy. I am also trained in other modalities, and can incorporate them based on your needs. We will work together to determine which methods best suit you.
