Great to meet you!

I work with people who are worn out from holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or empty on the inside. Many of my clients are therapists, helpers, healers, or high-achieving professionals who are burned out, wrestling with religious trauma, or quietly questioning who they are and what they want. Together, we make sense of painful experiences, untangle self‐doubt and shame, and help you reconnect with a steadier sense of self, purpose, and possibility.

My approach to therapy

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR therapist with both professional training and lived experience, including healing from religious trauma. My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. In session, you can expect a calm, low‐pressure space where you don’t have to perform, fix everything, or share more than you’re ready for. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe while gently working toward the changes you’re hoping for.

What you can expect from me

If you’re feeling burned out, spiritually wounded, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a consultation or first session, and we’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’re hoping will feel different, and how therapy with me might help. You’re welcome here exactly as you are.
