Starting therapy can feel intimidating - especially if you've always "pushed through" all alone. But if you are looking for relief from symptoms of complex trauma, anxiety, or just navigating a life transition, I offer a grounded, compassionate, and welcoming space where healing is possible. I use a holistic approach that incorporates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment theory.
I will always meet you where you are, whether you need coping strategies, felt peace, or deep healing. My role is to support clients in reconnecting with their strengths, clarity, and capacity to move forward in life.
My approach is rooted in EMDR, attachment theory, and IFS (Internal Family Systems). I take a holistic view of mental health, meaning I look beyond your symptoms to understand the emotional patterns, life experiences, and programmed responses that shape how you feel about and relate to the world.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” anyone — it’s about creating space for you to feel seen, heard, and empowered in your own life. Reach out if this resonates with you.
