About me
Hi! I work with women in different life transitions, anxiety, emotional regulation, and identity shifts. Women who are navigating relationship changes, burnout, grief, major life decisions, and feeling “stuck” or overwhelmed. Many clients come to therapy searching for support with stress, anxiety, boundaries, self-worth, and finding clarity during times of change.
My approach is warm, supportive, and whole-person focused, grounded in a trauma lens. I center our work on nervous system regulation and mind–body healing to help you feel calmer, steadier, and more emotionally grounded. In sessions, we explore how emotions, stress, and past experiences affect both the mind and body while building emotional regulation skills, healthy boundaries, and self-trust.
I integrate EMDR therapy, parts-based therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to support healing from past experiences, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we focus on helping you feel more confident, connected to yourself, and empowered to move forward into your next chapter.
