Great to meet you!

Starting therapy is an act of self-care and bravery. I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in helping women heal and reconnect with themselves through a holistic approach. I provide a safe, affirming space for openness and growth, walking beside you with compassion and authenticity as we co-pilot your healing journey.

My approach is compassionate & collaborative, using a holistic, trauma-informed lens. I help you process painful memories, build coping skills, and gain clarity. Drawing from EMDR, Part Works, & Somatic Experiencing to support nervous system regulation and emotional healing.

My approach to therapy

My work explores how trauma affects both the mind and body, and how healing becomes possible when safety and regulation are restored—not just insight. I offer a collaborative, nervous system–informed approach that integrates somatic therapy, parts work, and EMDR to support healing with care, choice, and self-trust.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a safe, supportive space. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any challenges you’re facing. I’ll explain my approach, answer your questions, and together we’ll start shaping a plan that fits your needs and pace.
