About me
Move Beyond Talk Therapy: Heal Your Nervous System & Reclaim Your Self.
Are you tired of talking in circles about your past without feeling any different in your body? Traditional talk therapy often stays in the mind, but trauma, anxiety, and exhaustion live in the nervous system. If you feel stuck in cycles of "fight-flight-freeze, or fawn," or if your inner critic feels like it’s running the show, I am here to help you find a different way forward. I am a trauma-informed therapist specializing in Complex PTSD, anxiety, substance use, and depression.
My work is deeply rooted in Polyvagal Theory, meaning we don't just "manage" symptoms; we work together to regulate your nervous system. By using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we will get to know the different "parts" of you—even the ones that feel self-destructive or overwhelming, and help them find peace. With EMDR we can process painful memories.
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Whether you are navigating the depths of depression or the chaos of addiction, we can work to restore your sense of safety and "Self." Reach out today for a consultation—let’s see how we can help you feel at home in your own body again. I respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours.
