Great to meet you!

I support adults and young adults who carry the effects of past trauma, chronic stress, or emotionally overwhelming experiences. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, constant tension, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who they want to be. I use trauma-informed therapy and nervous system regulation techniques to help you feel safer in your body, calmer in your mind, and more in control of your reactions. I am also trained in EMDR for clients seeking targeted trauma processing. Together, we work toward easing anxiety, releasing old patterns, and creating a steadier way of moving through your life.

My approach to therapy

EMDR-informed therapy, CBT, somatic awareness, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll slow down, understand what you’ve been carrying, and tune into how your body and nervous system have been responding. You’ll leave with clarity, grounding, and a plan that feels manageable.
