Does your life feel heavy, even when it looks like everything is “fine” on the outside? Anxiety, past trauma, and emotional pain can quietly shape your days, leaving you feeling disconnected, on edge, or like you’re carrying a weight no one else sees. You may struggle to trust that life can feel safe or steady, and relief often feels temporary. I work with women and teens who want to heal from trauma with a gentle, empathetic approach that honors both mind and spirit, helping you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a sense of peace.
Together, we will work collaboratively using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Somatics, mindfulness, and spirituality (if interested) to help you regain a sense of wholeness. I provide a gentle, empathetic space where your experiences are seen and honored. Healing is not about rushing, it’s about discovering your own path toward inner peace.
Step into a life where the past no longer holds you back. Find calm, clarity, and connection within yourself as you gently release what weighs you down. Heal at your own pace, rediscover your inner strength, and move forward with a renewed sense of freedom, peace, and purpose that feels truly yours.

I work with clients struggling with challenging emotions/trauma related to difficult experiences. During our initial sessions, we will work on identifying what the root of the distress is and work collaboratively to heal the internal wound while exploring tools to address the symptoms. Most of my clients see a gradual change to symptoms in the first month with sustained improvement thereafter.

I approach therapy as a sacred space for healing and transformation. Together, we'll tune into your inner wisdom and clarify what you're ready to release, shift, or call in. I use a holistic lens, often incorporating EMDR, parts work, and somatic healing, to support the deep healing of past wounds that may still be affecting your energy, emotions, and ability to feel fully present.
