You feel like your past is still very much alive in your present, or that you’re 'stuck' in the aftermath of a loss that the world expects you to be over by now. Maybe you’re a high-achiever who is tired of the constant background noise of anxiety, or you feel like you’re just surviving the heavy waves of grief. My role is to help you untangle the 'stuck' parts of your story so you can stop living in a state of survival. Together, we’ll build a path toward a life where you feel grounded in your body, at peace with your history, and truly resilient.
I offer a trauma-focused space for those navigating the heavy waves of grief and the persistent pressure of anxiety. Using tools like EMDR, we can work to reprocess the memories that keep you feeling stuck in your history. Together, we’ll calm your nervous system and untangle the past, helping you move toward a life that feels grounded and resilient.
Starting can feel intimidating, but I’m here to help, no judgment or pressure. If you’re reading this late at night, wondering if you’re ready, know that just taking this small step means you are already in motion. You don't have to have it all figured out, you just have to show up and we'll navigate the rest together.

In our first sessions, we'll take the time to really understand what you're going through and work together to create a plan that helps you feel like yourself again, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
