If you’re feeling overwhelmed and carrying emotions that feel hard to manage, you’re not alone. If you want a safe, compassionate space to deepen your understanding yourself, explore your identity, process past hurts, and build skills that can ease your anxiety and stress, let's connect. My Specialties, include Anxiety, LGBTQ+, and caregiver burnout. Together, we explore not just the challenges but also work on accessing your strengths the resilience already within you — helping you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well‑being.
My work is grounded in trauma informed Advanced Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) integrated with elements of TF-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, tapping) and Somatic work. Integrating these brings mind, body and emotional information into focus as my clients learn more about themselves.
You deserve care and you don’t have to navigate this alone. In our work together, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, and build strength‑based coping skills that help you move through life with more ease. If this resonates, reach out to schedule a discovery call — I’d be honored to connect and explore how working together could support you.
