Are you noticing experiences from your past showing up in your life or relationships today? Perhaps you’re realizing that the childhood you thought was “typical” was actually anything but, and you’re seeing the patterns showing up in the partners you choose or your tendency to try and keep everyone happy. Maybe you’re walking a road through parenthood that you never expected to be on: infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, or postpartum anxiety or depression. While you might have pushed it away for a while, you now can’t ignore the impacts of these experiences on your body, your partner, your child, and your mental health.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals, parents and those in the LGBTQ+ community to get curious about themselves and their experiences, so they can find a greater sense of peace and fulfillment in their lives. I use body-based methods such as Brainspotting & EMDR to help clients achieve deeper, longer-lasting change.

Therapy with me is about carving out a space you can call your own: somewhere you feel safe bringing your whole, authentic self—without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized—and getting back in touch with your inner wisdom and strength. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation to decide if I’m the right therapist for you.
