You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode after years of navigating trauma, identity challenges, or constant self-doubt. You want to feel grounded, connected, and confident in who you are, without carrying old patterns that drain your energy or relationships. My ideal clients are LGBTQ+ folks and complex trauma survivors seeking a space where their story is honored and their identity is fully affirmed. You’re looking for a therapist who understands overwhelming emotions, nervous system overload, and the desire for more clarity and self-trust.
I use EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness to help you process trauma, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your sense of self. My approach is compassionate, identity-affirming, and paced to your comfort. You set the pace; I hold the space. Together, we address the roots of your pain so you can move toward healing and greater internal safety.
Reaching out can feel scary, especially when you’re used to carrying everything alone. You deserve a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. If you’re ready to explore what healing could look like, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strength and move toward the life you want.
