Life’s circumstances, experiences, and traumas can easily create burdens which feel insurmountable. The clients that I've helped have faced various challenges; expected and unexpected loss and grief, job loss, school and career shifts, incarceration, medical diagnoses, depression, eating disorders, overwhelming anxieties, escalating stress, personal transitions, and the need for healthier connections with others. Our bodies and minds are interconnected and at times one speaks louder or more clearly than the other emphasizing this disconnection. If this is the case, I offer a variety of techniques to reestablish connection.

There are times in life when it feels like we just can’t catch a break. Maybe it’s relationships that fall apart, or constant crises, or prior traumas or experiences that come up in our daily lives. Chaos and emotional instability can make getting through the day feel impossible, but you do not have to go through it alone. Being overwhelmed and feeling broken doesn’t have to be your normal. Your mind and body are capable of healing, sometimes they just need a push. My goal is to help clients learn what is keeping them from fully experiencing peace and then build the tools to stop living in constant survival mode.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and unresolved experiences that continue to impact daily life. Many clients appear functional on the outside while internally carrying overwhelm, painful memories, shame, grief, or emotional triggers. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-informed. I am Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories without repeatedly retelling every detail. I also offer trauma intensives for focused work and meaningful progress in a shorter time frame.
