Great to meet you!

I use EMDR and IFS-informed therapy to help adults heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, and painful experiences that continue to affect how they feel today. I also work with the ways stress and past experiences can show up in the body and nervous system—feeling chronically tense or on edge, shut down or disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, or experiencing physical symptoms that seem to intensify with stress.

My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Together, we can work with the deeper experiences and emotional wounds underlying these patterns while helping your nervous system develop a greater sense of safety and regulation. The goal isn’t to simply think differently, but to help your mind and body experience greater calm, connection, and ease.

Sometimes we know exactly where our patterns began; other times, we simply know that something doesn’t feel right. Therapy can help us understand what your mind and body have been carrying and gently work through it at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

My hope is that our work leads to meaningful, lasting change—so you can feel more grounded in your body, connected to yourself and others, and more able to move through life without old experiences having such a powerful hold.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma informed. Rather than relying only on traditional talk therapy, I help you understand and gently work with the ways hard experiences can become held in the nervous system, emotions, and patterns of relating. I draw from EMDR, somatic approaches, and IFS informed work to help you process painful experiences, build greater self understanding, and feel more grounded and connected in your everyday life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to slow down and get to know what brings you in, what you’ve been carrying, and what you hope might feel different. I’ll make space for you to share at a pace that feels comfortable, and we’ll begin noticing patterns and strengths together. If you’re ready, let’s take that first step together.
