You may feel stuck in emotional or relationship patterns that leave you surviving rather than fully living. Early relationships shape how we experience safety, connection, boundaries, and self-worth, while childhood and relational trauma can continue to affect us into adulthood. As an attachment-informed, trauma-focused therapist, I help you heal attachment wounds, understand unmet needs, and overcome chronic shame, self-doubt, and painful relationship patterns. Your role is to show up for yourself; my role is to support you with compassion, clarity, and a path toward lasting healing.
I specialize in trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapy and narcissistic abuse treatment. I work with clients long-term to support deep, lasting healing rather than short-term symptom management. Treatment focuses on understanding relational patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and creating meaningful, sustainable change.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve spent a long time carrying things on your own. All you need is to show up open-minded to start on your healing journey, and we'll figure out the rest together. If any part of this resonates with you, you’re welcome to reach out and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Because each person is unique, I don't believe therapy should be a one size-fits-all approach. I integrate different approaches that are best suited for each client and situation.
