To the outside world, it might look like you have it all together. But inside you may feel like you’re drowning. You have carried so much for so long, that even slowing down can be overwhelming. This might be a sign that something needs to shift, whether or not you know what that is. In therapy, we will explore the patterns that have worked so hard to keep you safe, even when they no longer fit.
I believe healing starts when we meet your experience with compassion and curiosity: unlearning what hurt you, honoring what helped you survive and making room for authenticity & self-trust to take root.
As a trauma focused therapist, I integrate curious exploration with practical strategies, recognizing how systemic harm shapes the ways people learn to survive. My specialties include complex trauma with a special interest in religious trauma, dissociative disorders, experiences with neurodivergence, and college student mental health.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to listen, support, and walk alongside you on this path. If you’re ready, I invite you to email me for a free phone consultation, where we can explore whether I’m the right fit to help you move toward resilience, hope, and lasting change.
