If you're someone who’s been carrying more than you realize—old wounds, anxious thoughts, deep sadness, or a constant sense that you're always bracing for impact—you're not alone. Maybe you've struggled with boundaries, self-worth, or feeling safe in relationships. Deep down, you want to understand why you feel the way you do, and you're longing for more ease, connection, and clarity. After spending years in survival mode, you may finally be ready to meet yourself with curiosity instead of criticism—and to begin healing with support.
I offer trauma-informed therapy grounded in parts work (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, schema therapy, and attachment work. I help clients explore their inner world and together we’ll explore the parts of you shaped by past experiences and identify patterns that no longer serve you—all at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy can be a space where you’re met with warmth, curiosity, and compassion—where all parts of you are welcome. You deserve support that feels steady and respectful. When you’re ready, I’m here.
