There may be parts of you that still feel stuck in the past. I specialize in helping people who’ve learned to function through anxiety, trauma, and depression, but are ready for more than just coping. Maybe you notice yourself shutting down in certain situations, becoming overwhelmed by anxiety, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand. You want to feel more connected: to yourself, to others, and to the present moment. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, listen to the parts of you that are still holding pain, and begin building a life that feels grounding, safe, and fully yours.
I help adults make sense of their internal world so they can feel more connected, empowered, and in control of their lives. My approach is trauma-informed and body-aware, focused on building self-understanding, healthier boundaries, and a more grounded, empowered way of relating to yourself and others.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don’t have to face it alone. Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. Ready to begin your healing? Let’s take the next step together.
