You’ve likely had to grow up too fast—navigating emotional neglect, unstable parenting, addiction, or mood disorders in your family. Maybe you were the helper, the achiever, the one who kept it all together. And from the outside, it still looks like you’re holding it all—but inside, you're tired. Anxious. Maybe even lost. You want more than just survival. You want relationships that feel mutual. A career that doesn’t drain your soul. A sense of calm that doesn’t vanish under pressure. I work with ambitious, thoughtful adults who carry hidden burdens: anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome.

Using EMDR and trauma-informed relational therapy, we’ll explore how your early story shaped your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll create space for healing that’s honest, empowering, and grounded in real change. I honor all identities, cultures, and lived experiences. I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and allied, and welcome

I am passionate about working with people of all nationalities, identities, abilities and cultures. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming and allied.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."
