You’re successful on the outside, but inside, you're stuck—trapped in old patterns shaped by past wounds. Relationships feel unfulfilling, parenting is overwhelming, and anxiety or burnout never seem to let up. Maybe you grew up in a toxic family or with emotionally immature parents, always doubting your worth or overextending yourself to keep the peace. You may struggle with self-doubt, disconnection, or a nagging sense that something isn’t right. Trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, or life events—shapes you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Healing starts by understanding its roots so you can grow beyond its branches.
As a trauma specialist, I help adults heal from complex trauma and PTSD. Using gold-standard evidence-based therapy like CPT, CBT, and ACT, we’ll uncover the patterns holding you back and develop strategies for meaningful change. My approach is practical, compassionate, and focused on helping you reclaim your life and move forward with confidence.
You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but it shouldn’t be this exhausting. You deserve fulfilling relationships, self-worth beyond achievement, and a life where you feel grounded and in control. Therapy can help you break free from old patterns and move from surviving to thriving. If you’re ready to step into a healthier, more empowered life, let’s talk.

Trauma is like a book that always opens to the worst part. I help you work through what happened by using gold standard treatments for PTSD, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, that give you tools to process the trauma in a safe and measured way. You can read the book start to finish and put it down. It still happened, but the narrative no longer controls you. We change your relationship to it.

I help my clients stay present, open up, and do what matters. These are core features of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I use traditional cognitive behavioral skills as well, which help you address problematic thoughts. However, no one can stop these thoughts from occurring so it's most helpful to learn to BE with them and flourish around them; moving toward what matters.
