If you are looking at this, you have made the important decision to actively seek help, which is the first step to dealing with whatever is causing you difficulty in your daily life. Now that you have made the first step, you need to choose a mental health professional who is right for you. I know this can be challenging, but I believe the most important thing in choosing a mental health professional is finding one whom you feel comfortable with and who you believe will be able to help you deal with, manage, and hopefully overcome whatever issue you are facing.

I am here to collaborate with my clients and explore how trauma, stress, and pain have rooted in their bodies. My clients report experiencing disconnection and dissociation from the emotional and physical experiences inside of them. As a consequence, they often only have connection to what is happening in their bodies and minds in moments of intense crisis, dysregulation, and severe need. In these moments, they feel ill-equipped, overwhelmed, and confused about how to navigating these consuming experiences. These clients typically share that they are consistently visiting this space of chaos with little to no control or autonomy.
