Do you find yourself stuck in patterns that feel hard to break? Saying "yes" when you want to say "no?" Overthinking conversations long after they’ve ended? Feeling responsible for others’ emotions while neglecting your own? Perhaps you’re deeply self-aware but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others. These experiences are often rooted in early attachment patterns. What once helped you feel safe, connected, or accepted may now show up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and difficulty trusting yourself.
I’ve helped clients move out of these cycles and experience real relief from anxiety, self-doubt, and the emotional weight of the past. I use culturally competent approaches to create a safe space for everyone including those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
In my practice, I draw from EMDR, parts-work, ACT, and CBT to help you not just understand these patterns but actually shift them at a deeper level. Change doesn’t often come from pushing harder; it comes from understanding and responding to yourself differently. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to help.

I use a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities based on individual client needs. Together, we'll explore patterns, understand the "why" behind what you're experiencing, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. There's no one-size-fits-all method, so our work together will be shaped by your needs, goals, and pace.
