Hello! Does every day feel more and more like you are failing? Do you feel overwhelmed by what life seems to be expecting from you? Was it always this hard? Are you reacting to things that feel out of your control? Many of us are grappling with these feelings today. The challenge is learning how to respond differently. When past experiences begin to control our reactions, we can lose our sense of choice, affecting both our emotional and physical well being. Together, we’ll work to help you regain that sense of choice and control.
I take a “you” approach. I want to understand who you are, not just what brings you to therapy. My style is friendly, honest, and sometimes very direct. I won’t just nod along. I’ll gently challenge you when I think it could help, and my clients tell me they appreciate that.
I truly believe in the transformative power of therapy, and while it can be challenging, it can also be so rewarding! And its hard to seek out a therapist or maybe you're even looking for a new or different therapist. Reach out via text, email or call. I do feel I give the best first impression by having a full session via Telehealth.

Trauma can sometimes shape how we understand boundaries, relationships, and our own needs. Together, we will develop a clearer understanding of boundaries based on your values and what is important to you. We will explore how boundaries are about what you choose to do, not waiting for someone else to change or respect your limits. You will learn how to follow through in ways that honor your needs.

I use somatic therapy and neurobiology to help you understand how stress and trauma affect your brain and body. You'll learn to notice physical signals like tension, changes in breathing, or a racing heart, and I'll gradually introduce tools to help regulate your nervous system and create a greater sense of safety.
