Some people struggle with impulsivity. Others struggle with too much control—overthinking every decision, following rigid internal rules, and feeling like they have to perform a certain way in social situations. If you relate to the latter, therapy with me might be a good fit. You might be highly competent in many areas of life but find that when it comes to emotions and relationships, things feel frustratingly more complicated.

Overwhelmed by trauma or stuck in old patterns? You're not alone. Perhaps you’ve tried talking it through, but the same emotional patterns keep resurfacing. You might feel stuck, emotionally shut down, anxious, or just exhausted from always holding it together. You want more than coping skills; you want deep, lasting healing. I specialize in Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR I help clients process both “big T” and “small t” trauma, even when there’s no clear memory or event. Many of my clients don’t see themselves as “traumatized,” yet they feel something is chronically off. If that’s you, you are in the right place.

Do you ever feel stuck in cycles of worry, sadness, or conflict that leave you exhausted?

You’ve survived deep wounds—abuse that has shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world.

With nearly a decade of experience, I am here to affirm that healing is possible.

I believe that all of us can benefit from additional support in different seasons of our lives. It takes bravery to reach out and meet with someone, and I’m passionate about building a relationship with my clients where they are able to engage with their own resilience and innate ability to heal. Many of us develop patterns that help us move through and cope with what we have experienced, and often, we realize these strategies are no longer serving us, and are keeping us from experiencing the full life we desire. I walk alongside my clients in helping them become reconnected to their true selves, and reach their goals.

Each of us shapes and is shaped by the relationships we have with others, with our bodies, with our stories, with our cultures, and with our worlds. We find ourselves here and now because of where we’ve been and what has happened, because of how we carry our experiences forward and how they have made us. I am awed by the creative resilience with which we integrate or shoulder the burdens we’ve felt. I find astonishing and courageous the ways in which we not only survive, but find ways to thrive, to express ourselves, and live into the fullness of human experience despite those things that have hurt us and that hurt us now.

My ideal client is someone who feels trapped by shame, the LGBTQ individual exhausted by explaining their identity, the trauma survivor haunted by memories they can’t outrun, or the couple drowning in silence after betrayal. They want more than “coping” they crave a space where their sexuality, identity, or pain isn’t pathologized, but met with respect. Often tired of judgment from society, partners, or their own inner critic, and need a therapist who "gets it". Clients seek to reclaim agency to untangle trauma’s grip, rebuild trust after infidelity, or finally embrace desire without guilt. They’re ready to heal, not just survive.

We all have different parts of ourselves that show up in different ways at different times. It's often the case that what leads us to seek therapy is the feeling that some of our parts are showing up either as "too big" or overwhelming or as some sort of overreaction that we can't quite understand. My goal as a therapist is to help set the conditions we all need in order to better understand the different ways we show up in the world, and why. Anxiety, PTSD, depression and other trauma-related symptoms can improve in incredible ways when we take the time to understand why.

Healing is not about “fixing” what’s broken—it’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself that were never truly seen, heard, or nurtured. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, autism, and sexual concerns. Whether you’re a parent trying to understand your child’s needs, an individual feeling stuck in emotional pain, or a couple searching for deeper connection, I provide a compassionate space where growth and transformation are not just possible—they're expected.
