Great to meet you!

You look like you're holding it together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted.

Maybe your mind never shuts off. You replay conversations, expect the worst, overthink every decision, or feel constantly on edge. You put everyone else first, struggle to set boundaries, and wonder why you keep ending up in the same painful relationships or patterns. You tell yourself to "just move on," yet your body still reacts as if the danger never left.

Trauma doesn't always look like one big event. Sometimes it looks like years of feeling unseen, walking on eggshells, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional neglect, or growing up believing you had to earn love by taking care of everyone else.

The truth is, you're not broken. Your brain and nervous system learned how to survive. The problem is those survival patterns can keep you stuck long after the danger is gone.

As a Neuroscience-Informed Trauma Specialist, I help adults understand why they feel the way they do and, more importantly, how to change it. Using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, attachment-focused therapy, and nervous system regulation, we'll work to reprocess painful experiences so they stop controlling your present.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, therapy is more than talking about your week. Together, we'll uncover the root of what's keeping you stuck, quiet the constant mental noise, help your nervous system feel safe again, and create lasting change from the inside out.

You deserve more than simply surviving. Imagine waking up without constant anxiety, trusting yourself again, setting boundaries without guilt, building healthier relationships, and finally feeling like your life belongs to you instead of your past.

Healing is possible. You don't have to do it alone.

My approach to therapy

There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing because no two people have lived the same story.

Our work together is tailored to you. Some sessions may focus on understanding why your brain and nervous system keep getting stuck in survival mode. Other times we'll process painful memories, challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling trapped, build healthier coping skills, or simply create space to slow down and breathe again.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR to help your brain reprocess trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation and relationships, and mindfulness-based techniques to help calm your nervous system and bring you back to the present.

My goal isn't to just help you cope. It's to help you understand yourself differently, heal at the root, and create lasting change so you can stop surviving and start living with more confidence, peace, and freedom.

What you can expect from me

Imagine waking up without the constant weight of anxiety, overthinking, or feeling like you're just getting through the day. Therapy can help you stop surviving and start feeling like yourself again.

Together, we'll work to help you:

  • Break free from anxiety, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm.
  • Heal from trauma, PTSD, childhood wounds, and unresolved grief.
  • Build healthier relationships by setting boundaries without guilt.
  • Quiet negative self-talk and develop lasting confidence.
  • Regulate your nervous system so you feel calmer, safer, and more in control.
  • Create meaningful, lasting change instead of temporary coping.
