Professional statement

I specialize in helping adults (18+) heal from depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma, and relationship challenges. Using evidence-based trauma therapies like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting, I focus on the mind-body connection to address both the emotional and physical effects of stress and trauma, recognizing how deeply they are intertwined. With over 10 years of experience, I provide a warm, safe space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to create lasting change. Whether you are navigating the impact of a recent event or the effects of long-term trauma, we will work together at a pace that feels safe to you, helping restore balance, resilience, and a greater sense of self-trust.


Message to clients

Are you feeling stuck, even after trying talk therapy? Healing from trauma requires more than just talking—it involves your whole body and nervous system. I specialize in evidence-based trauma therapies, including EMDR, Brainspotting, + Somatic Experiencing to help you process painful experiences and find lasting relief. I've worked with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds, as well as those struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts. I also specialize in supporting survivors of sexual assault, abusive relationships, and those experiencing relationship challenges.

As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. My goal is to provide culturally sensitive care that honors your lived experience and I am committed to creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood.

My priority is to create a sense of safety where we can build trust and connection. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!
