Great to meet you!

I work with people who have had painful or confusing experiences that continue to weigh on them. They may struggle with with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like they're never quite “enough”. Many of my clients are highly sensitive or emotionally aware, but often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your pace. I use a combination of talk therapy and trauma healing tools like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can help you release painful experiences from your nervous system that keep you stuck. Through supportive conversation and practical tools we'll work together to untangle what’s going on, shift painful beliefs, and help you feel more steady, empowered, and connected — both to yourself and others.

What you can expect from me

In session expect a grounded space for you to be heard and met with kindness and understanding. We'll do a combination of exploration and processing to start as we begin to conceptualize your concerns and work towards finding clarity and relief.
