About

You probably understand your patterns—but in the moment, your reactions still take over. You may find yourself shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, or having the same conflict in your relationship again and again, even when you genuinely want things to be different. If you’re tired of understanding your patterns but still feeling stuck in them, you’re not alone. Many people who seek out my services are thoughtful and self-aware. They’ve done a lot of reflecting, reading, or even past therapy—but insight alone hasn’t created lasting change. I use EMDR and IFS to help clients whose patterns are shaped by trauma and live in the nervous system. In our work, we slow things down and focus on what’s happening internally in real time, so new responses can begin to emerge. In relationships, this often means understanding and shifting the cycles that keep you feeling stuck, disconnected, or reactive. Specialties: If you tend to shut down, feel overwhelmed, or repeat the same dynamics, you're not alone. I help you understand how past experiences shape present reactions and create meaningful change. I help you understand how past experiences shape present reactions and work toward meaningful change.

"Therapy with me is steady, collaborative, and paced in a way that feels manageable. My work is informed by EMDR and Internal Family Systems, while focusing on helping you understand and shift patterns at the nervous system level. The goal isn't just insight, but helping you feel more calm, clear, and able to respond differently."
