Coming to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you, or you failed because you couldn't "fix it" yourself. Like many people I see, you might consider yourself aggressively capable. As a result, you may find it hard to trust and rely on others. When you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and are reluctant to ask for help, it is likely to lead to overwhelm. Here's what's true: your well-being MATTERS and affects the quality of your life and relationships. We'll work to identify what's in the way of living a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

Does past or current trauma interfere with living your best life? Do you feel like others don't understand the impact your experiences have on your day to day life because there is a cultural, racial, or religious gaps? Are you looking for assistance supporting others in your life who have experienced trauma? Trauma can be defined by any event that was scary or stressful. It can be a solitary event or continuous over a period of time, and it is individual to the person experiencing it.

Life is full of changes and uncertainty, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when things don’t go the way we expected. You may find yourself feeling stuck—especially when the harder you try to fix things, the more frustrated or helpless it feels. You are not alone, and certainly not broken. Often, these experiences reflect patterns shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and the expectations we’ve carried over times. In therapy, we'll work together to understand and gradually shift these patterns, reconnecting with your inner strengths and rebuilding confidence in navigating life’s ups and downs.

From the outside, you’re doing well. You show up, take care of what needs to be done, and people rely on you. But underneath, it feels different. Everything takes more effort than it should. You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix, and you find yourself wondering, “Why does this feel so hard?” You may have been told it’s anxiety, stress, or burnout. Sometimes it is. But for many women, there’s more beneath the surface—patterns that have gone unnoticed for years.

As a therapist, I rely heavily on the power of the therapeutic relationship, viewing this relationship as the foundation for safety in working with individuals and their internal systems. Our work together develops insight into one's own internal landscape and explores the wounds that create difficult emotions, thoughts and patterns in day to day life. Working together, such processing fosters a relationship with oneself in a way that goes beyond their past.

I specialize in trauma therapy for adults experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, attachment wounds, childhood trauma, anxiety, dissociation, and chronic emotional overwhelm. Using EMDR, CPT, attachment-focused therapy, and nervous-system-informed approaches, I help clients process painful experiences in a way that feels steady, grounded, and manageable. Many people worry that trauma therapy will feel too intense or destabilizing. Therapy can move at a pace that supports safety and stability, with tools to help manage anxiety, shutdown, emotional flooding, and other trauma responses along the way.

I work with couples & individuals, especially around anxiety, depression, and trauma. I trained in Focusing, a somatic mindfulness technique. Combining Focusing with Art Therapy provides a powerful way through what is troubling you into an enhanced, healthy, life.

Working with a therapist can be a way to access the healing you desire and deserve.

You’ve spent years holding it all together — strong, capable, and always there for everyone else. But lately, you’re tired. Anxious. Disconnected from who you really are. You wonder if anyone truly sees you… or if even you do.
