I came to this work through a deep personal journey of understanding what it means to be truly healed on emotional, psychological, and physical levels. I believe that separation from self is the root cause of suffering in body and mind. By identifying these specific fragments, there is an opportunity for true, lasting, restorative healing.

I work with clients experiencing extreme anxiety and depression, grief, insomnia, CPTSD/PTSD, and relationship issues. I also have experience with eating disorder and addiction recovery, as well as extreme attachment disruption from childhood trauma.

My communication style is one of inquisitiveness. I encourage curiosity, non-judgment, and no attachment to outcome. My tone varies depending on what is needed for the healing process. I have a compassionate, caring presence. My work is highly attuned, present, and reflective of what is presented in session.

I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of anxiety or disconnection, or who are carrying more than they feel able to hold alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted, navigating relationship stress, past trauma, or a sense that they are constantly “pushing through” without enough support.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin building a steadier internal sense of safety and clarity.
