Do you feel anxious even when everything looks fine on the outside? Are your relationships struggling despite how hard you try? Maybe you're noticing patterns you can't break: people-pleasing, perfectionism, never feeling quite enough.
You might be realizing your childhood shaped you in ways you didn't expect—not because anything was dramatically "wrong," but because early experiences taught you to stay on guard, work for approval, or put everyone else first.
I help people understand how their past created their present patterns and find the relief they're seeking. I meet you where you are and tailor our work to what you need.

As a therapist, I believe healing is a deeply personal and transformative journey. I am committed to walking alongside my clients with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique stories. Drawing from evidence-based practices such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), I support individuals in processing trauma, overcoming emotional roadblocks, and reconnecting with their sense of self.
No two people are the same, and neither are their paths to healing. I tailor each session to meet the specific needs, strengths, and goals of the person in front of me.
