Great to meet you!

You've been holding it together for everyone else. Let's make space for you.

You're self-aware enough to know something is wrong, and exhausted from trying to figure it out on your own. Maybe you've done therapy before. Maybe you've read the books, know the language, can explain your patterns — and still can't seem to change them. That gap between knowing and feeling is exactly where I work.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and the relational wounds that don't heal with insight alone. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, hard-working women who are harder on themselves than they'd ever be on anyone else — carrying old hurt in their bodies long after their minds have tried to move on.

My approach is warm and direct. I won't just nod and reflect — I'll work actively with you, using EMDR, somatic and parts-based (IFS-informed) methods, and nervous system tools drawn from yoga therapy and mindfulness. These aren't techniques I layer on top of talk therapy — they're how I understand healing: that your body has been part of the story all along, and it needs to be part of the recovery too.

I've been doing this work for over 18 years, and I bring my whole self to it — including my own experience navigating complex relationships, multiple roles, and the ongoing practice of self-compassion that I ask of my clients.

If you're ready to stop managing and start actually shifting — I'd love to connect.

My approach to therapy

We start slow — with trust, not technique. Before anything else, I want to understand your story and help you feel safe enough to tell it.

From there, I draw on EMDR, somatic and parts-based (IFS-informed) methods, and nervous system tools from yoga and mindfulness — not as a formula, but based on what you actually need. I'm warm but direct, and I'll be an active partner in your sessions, not just a listener. You'll leave with real tools, not just insights — things you can use between sessions when life gets hard.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about you feeling heard, not evaluated. I'll ask about what's brought you here, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping for — and I'll share honestly whether I think I can help. There's no pressure to dive into the hardest things right away. We go at your pace.

By the end, most people tell me they feel a little lighter just from finally saying it out loud.
