Come as you are. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating anxiety, relationship challenges or simply wondering why your nervous system thinks answering an email is the same as surviving a bear attack, you're in the right place. I use evidence based practices like EMDR, Somatic Therapy, DBT, and IFS to help get you steadier, clearer and more anchored in yourself.
My clients say that I'm non-judgmental and calming. My specialties include trauma-related disorders, addiction recovery, life and career transitions. I will help you find the right healing modality and learn to calm your nervous system and connect with your authentic self. Nervous system regulation can be very valuable.
If you are curious about therapy or want to try a new perspective please reach out to me. I do free 10 minute consults to see if it's a fit fo you. I believe everyone has the intuitive ability to heal. I would like to support you in finding your way.
