Im here to serve the over-thinking, deep-thinking, brooding, perfectionistic women who have trouble turning off their brain. I serve the women who want to know what it means to actually be in touch with their body, their feelings, and their purpose. Many of my clients are disconnected, not because they are meant to be alone or feel alone, but because they are carrying so much. Shame, self blame, pressure to hold it all together, the questions "why can't I..." and "why don't I just..." that ring through the mind... they keep us from living energetically, purposefully, and in a way thats deeply connected. This is where the therapy relationship comes in.

Therapy can be a place to stop performing, stop 'pushing through', and start to slow down, notice what's happening, decide what's authentic or truthful, and reconnect with your self so you can engage with the world in a way thats genuine, confident, and courageous.

I genuinely love what I do in the therapy room. I have no greater passion than to walk along side people. There is just something deeply meaningful to me about helping people feel understood and watching them begin to see themselves differently.

My approach is genuine, trauma-informed, and person-centered. We might use EMDR to reprocess old memories, learn the source of your perfectionism, overthinking, self criticism, or emptiness, and find ways to transform old patterns into thriving habits. We may instead allow therapy to be a placeholder in your life and serve as a place to feel heard, understood, and rediscover what you need to do next.

If you have complex trauma, together, we’ll explore how your nervous system, lived experiences, and relationships, have shaped the way you move through the world. We'll discover the meaning you've extracted from your experiences and build awareness around the way that meaning impacts how you think and feel.

If you have ADHD, we may also work on making sense of masking behaviors, sensory overwhelm, burnout, executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation, and stopping the exhausting cycle of trying to fit into systems that weren't built with your brain in mind.

Clients usually report feeling better after just 1 or 2 sessions. You can expect me to show up as steady, honest, and engaged. I will create space for you to feel seen, will challenge you when you need it, and won't be afraid to call you out when you're minimizing or avoiding something. You can count on me to read between the lines. If we do EMDR, I'll be the guide, but your brain will do the work.

Whatever we decide will be best for you, my only goal is for you to leave therapy with more clarity, more confidence, and a stronger connection to yourself.
