Great to meet you!

You may look like you’re managing just fine, while inside you’re exhausted from overthinking, bracing for the next wave of anxiety, or trying to keep old experiences from spilling into the present. Maybe panic has made your world smaller, trauma has left you on edge or shut down, or grief or relationship stress has shaken your confidence. I work with thoughtful adults who are tired of just getting through it and want to feel steadier, freer, and more like themselves again.

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, active, and structured. I won’t just listen while you try to sort everything out alone. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s happening underneath, and build practical ways to feel more grounded. When it fits, I use EMDR, CBT, somatic work, mindfulness, and parts work to help create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

I want therapy to be a place where you can fully be yourself—without filtering, minimizing what you’ve been through, or worrying about saying the “right” thing. With 30+ years of experience, I bring warmth, perspective, and practical direction so you can feel lighter, more confident, and better able to trust yourself.
