Imagine a person who has always put others first—whether it's family, career, or relationships. Over time, they’ve lost touch with their own needs and desires, carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of disconnection. They’ve shown resilience, but inside, there’s a growing sense of frustration and exhaustion from navigating the complexities of life, often feeling like their worth is tied to how much they give to others. They might be dealing with trauma that keeps them stuck in old patterns or struggling with codependency, always placing their needs last, unsure how to break the cycle.
As a trauma-informed therapist with a specialty in Internal IFS and EMDR, I offer a compassionate and safe space where we can explore the deeper layers of your experiences. My approach is grounded in understanding how your past informs your present, and together, we’ll work to untangle the roots of anxiety, depression, or trauma that may be holding you back.
I believe in the power of relationships—both with others and with yourself. Through our work, you’ll learn to foster healthier attachments and redefine what it means to care for yourself. My mission is to help you build a life where your emotional well-being is prioritized, where your resilience and courage guide you forward.
