About me
My ideal client is someone navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship struggles who feels overwhelmed or stuck. They often carry the weight of past experiences and want to understand their emotions, set boundaries, and stop repeating patterns that no longer serve them. They seek a safe space to reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and live more authentically. Their goal isn’t to be “fixed,” but to feel aligned, grounded, and empowered in their life and relationships.

I offer integrative, trauma-informed therapy for adults and teens. I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and relationships. Using EMDR, IFS, hypnotherapy, and somatic techniques, I help clients process deeply, regulate emotionally, and grow with authenticity and strength.
If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or heavy with past pain, you’re not alone. Reaching out takes strength—and it’s a powerful first step. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. You deserve to feel balanced and connected to who you are. When you're ready, I’m here to walk with you.
