I am passionate about working with trauma, anxiety, and depression with narrative therapy, self-compassion, parts work, and brainspotting.
I help clients dealing with the impacts of trauma, stress, anxiety, fatigue, or low self-worth get out of that survival mode and get back to being present and engaged in their lives. I also specialize in working with first responders and spouses. Dealing with stressors and difficult experiences is an inevitable part of life, but how it impacts us doesn't have to be. I use an integrative and nervous system-informed approach to help you move forward and feel more connected and regulated. We work together to find the source of your struggles for deeper change.

I have completed Level 2 Training in Internal Family Systems and am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting.
I specialize in guiding people towards healing from trauma and finding health and well-being in their lives and relationships. I realize that my clients often seek therapy to heal from some of their deepest wounds. Sometimes they carry shame, fear, and anxiety or depression due to these experiences. I'll welcome you with an open, warm, and deeply present therapeutic experience. Therapy is designed to provide an emotionally safe and supportive space where we do very sensitive work.

I use a powerful form of therapy called Brainspotting (similar to EMDR) to bring lasting relief to the thoughts, feelings, and memories you so often get stuck in.
I work with women and highly sensitive people who are struggling with anxiety and want to understand how their family and upbringing have affected them so that they can grow out of those patterns. Sometimes this can be setting better boundaries, creating closer relationships, or receiving brainspotting to heal from childhood attachment trauma/emotional neglect. I also provide animal-assisted therapy with my canine partner, Emi. She is a highly sensitive dog who struggles with anxiety as well, but she loves people and enjoys helping clients feel happy and safe.

My clients are engaged in the process of change.

Clients are from different cultural backgrounds and experiences that have been challenging such as coming from difficult childhoods. They are resilient and seek to learn new ways of coping as they continue to grow. I also provide EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Brainspotting for the treatment of trauma.

We are surrounded by feedback, sometimes even dependent on it. Everyone has an opinion for us. Perhaps you have become so accustomed to the sounds of other voices speaking into your life that you aren’t even sure what your own voice sounds like anymore. Finding a place where you can be truly heard, without the pressure of taking on someone else’s “should” for your life, can be a struggle.

You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

We all need a place to feel safe—to let down our masks and be ourselves. I believe in the importance of being yourself and living authentically - rebelling against the pressures of who others want you to be and what society makes us think about success and happiness. As a therapist who is sex-positive, body-positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming, I work with people who are trying to traverse this world, often misunderstood by the dominant culture. Whether you are neurodivergent, poly, queer, fat, a rebel, an artist, the black sheep, or you are just trying to work through life's ups & downs, I can provide that safe place for you.
