Unresolved trauma and anxiety can leave you feeling out of control. You might struggle with toxic shame, excessive guilt, unstable relationships, helplessness, or physical symptoms. Perhaps you want to enjoy life but feel trapped by the past, anxious about the future, and disconnected from the present. Beginning this journey can feel scary, especially when you’ve grown “comfortable” with how things are, even though you deeply want them to be different.
I specialize in treating Trauma and Anxiety Disorders through a mindfulness & attachment based framework. Research reveals that the therapeutic alliance is the most significant factor in creating positive treatment outcomes. Within the secure alliance, you will be invited to let go of your survival strategies and consciously create the life you desire.
If you are interested in meeting with a therapist who will not pathologize you because of your struggles then look no further. I aim to help you discover your innate resiliency and inner calm. I take pride in affirming the dignity, strength, and creativity in all of my clients. I invite you on a journey to come home to yourself!

I work with clients who may be struggling with Trauma and Anxiety. During our initial session, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a treatment plan that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients will see a gradual lifting of distress or symptoms within the first six weeks of therapy and sustained improvement after that.
