About me
You know your past is behind you, but sometimes, your mind and body haven’t gotten the message.
Maybe you’ve spent your life caring for everyone else while putting your needs last. You may struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, boundaries, or knowing what you want. You may have experienced neglect, emotionally unavailable parents, family conflict, loss, medical trauma, chronic illness, or unhealthy relationships. Perhaps you feel unseen, unheard, anxious, depressed, irritable, or disconnected from yourself and the things you once enjoyed. Together we'll explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion so you can reconnect with yourself, heal old wounds, and create healthier relationships.
If you keep falling into the same patterns despite learning coping skills, your past may still be shaping your present. Together, we'll gently explore those patterns, reconnect your mind and body through somatic therapy, and build practical DBT and mindfulness skills so you can heal old wounds, feel safer within yourself, and create lasting change. I also incorporate EMDR therapy to help process traumatic experiences that may still feel "stuck" in the present. EMDR can help your brain reprocess these experiences so they become less overwhelming, allowing you to move forward without feeling defined by your past.
Healing begins when your experiences are met with compassion, understanding, and genuine connection. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we can create a safe space to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self. I'm here for you!
