Often times when people come to therapy, what they've already tried hasn't quite made them feel, think, or behave in the ways they'd hope. Regardless, people typically already have some means for dealing with challenges they encounter. Therapy is a place for expanding your approaches & gaining new tools to help you navigate your current predicament(s). If you're hoping to change the ways you're feeling, thinking, and/or responding to a stressor, I believe that you will find my therapeutic approach meaningful.

Navigating life after trauma can feel overwhelming, leaving you stuck in a cycle of emotional numbness or constant anxiety. At W.E.A.V.E.

Imagine being able to address your past—whether it’s childhood wounds, racial or intergenerational trauma, without the same old triggers pulling you back. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements) to help your brain naturally heal and integrate those painful experiences, allowing you to regain

What if constant exhaustion was optional? What if you could say “no” and not feel bad? What if taking up more space in your relationship could actually make it healthier? What if “Because I can handle it … I’ll be okay” was NOT a good enough reason to push yourself to the limit? What if you didn't ALWAYS have to work twice as hard (at work and at home)? What if taking time out for yourself, actually lead to you having MORE time in the end? What if you could find more peace and rest without the people around you taking your advice, or finally working WITH you to solve problems?

I specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress/burnout, and chronic illness. Many present as independent, resilient, and appear “put together” to others. Internally, they feel unfulfilled, overwhelmed, and struggle to manage their emotional well-being. They can often recall impactful life events but are unsure how to recognize and/or process emotions surrounding them. These individuals recognize that their usual way of “pushing through” isn’t enough and are ready to explore healthier, more sustainable ways of moving forward.
