Great to meet you!

Maybe you’re facing a transition, ending a relationship, questioning your career, or simply realizing that your old ways of coping aren’t working anymore. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying more than your share. Therapy can offer a grounded space to pause, reflect, and begin again—with clarity and intention. I specialize in working with people who are in the midst of deep change. These shifts may come after spiritual disillusionment, trauma, or years of self-abandonment in service of others.

My approach to therapy

I incorporate EMDR, somatic awareness, and narrative work to help you move through what's stuck and integrate the parts of you that have been left behind. Together, we’ll explore how past wounds may be shaping your present—and how to build a future that feels aligned with who you truly are.

What you can expect from me

I offer a trauma-informed space rooted in compassion and curiosity.
