I support individuals working through the deep and often hidden impacts of trauma—whether rooted in the past or triggered by life’s most vulnerable moments, like fertility struggles, pregnancy, postpartum, or perinatal loss. I also help couples navigating the identity and relational shifts that come with parenting. My work extends to those facing anxiety, depression, and major transitions. You don’t have to stay stuck. Together, we’ll move toward healing, reconnection, and a stronger sense of self.
Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach that blends CBT and somatic practices, I guide clients toward clarity, confidence, and more fulfilling relationships. I help clients understand the mind-body connection, shift perspectives, and transform stress, trauma, and anxiety into meaningful growth.
I would be honored to support you on your journey, and I look forward to meeting with you. Feel free to reach out and I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
