My clients are women who feel trapped in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve their best interests. They often feel anxious, sad, and not in control of their emotions and reactions. They may feel lost, unsure of who they are, and want to increase self-awareness and break past cycles. I am experienced in supporting women healing from trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, and unhealthy relationship patterns.
I am a licensed therapist trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy, and Integrative Somatic Trauma therapy. I identify as neurodivergent and have personal and professional experience with neurodiverse families and parenting neurodiverse children.
I provide a safe space to process past and present experiences, deepen self-awareness, and heal. I best support clients who are open to an active process, deeper work, and ready to move beyond traditional talk therapy. I offer a complimentary phone consultation to ensure we are a good fit before we begin.

I work primarily with women healing from trauma using a combination of EMDR and IFS. These are somatic exposure therapies that help release physical and psychological distress from the body and nervous system. These approaches work best with those ready to be challenged, engage in deep inner healing, and step away from traditional talk therapy.

I lean heavily on tools that engage the mind and body. We will go beyond challenging thoughts or trying to contain emotions. Clients are invited to explore how their past not only appears in their thoughts, but also in their bodies and nervous systems. I help clients learn to release what they are ready to let go of and lean into post-traumatic growth.
