Great to meet you!

You’re self-aware enough to know something needs to shift but insight alone hasn’t been enough to create change. Maybe old patterns keep resurfacing in relationships, or anxiety, depression & perfectionistic striving are quietly stealing your peace. You deserve to feel safe in your body, at home in your mind & secure in who you are. Yet many of us carry old beliefs that tell us we’re too much, not enough or some painful combination of both. If you’re longing to move out of survival mode & the fear based cycles that have been undermining your peace, I’m here to help you get there

My approach to therapy

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I integrate psychodynamic, somatic, attachment & skills based approaches to help you get to the roots of anxiety, shame, depression and disconnection-not just manage symptoms. Together, we’ll work toward enhancing self-trust, emotional resilience & boundary setting practices that support sustainable growth. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, somatic, & psychodynamic approaches within a person-centered, trauma-informed frame. We go beyond talking by tracking what's actually happening in your body and relational patterns as they show up, including in our sessions together. Paced to feel safe, but aimed at real, felt change, not just more understanding. I have over 11 years of clinical experience, with a specialized focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, & adults navigating stubborn relational patterns & identity conflicts. I often work with adults who feel "high-functioning" on the outside but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in self-doubt.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will focus on an assessment that explores what brings you to therapy, goals for treatment and the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
