About

If you’re feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn’t shifted, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware but exhausted from holding it all together while quietly feeling disconnected. You may struggle with anxiety, burnout, grief, or the lingering impact of past experiences and wonder why it still affects you. In therapy, we slow things down and gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface. I specialize in EMDR therapy and trauma-informed care to help you process past experiences, reduce anxiety, heal attachment wounds, and feel more grounded and steady in your life. My style is warm, collaborative, and very real. You don’t have to perform or have the “right words.” Therapy can be a space to exhale, understand yourself more deeply, and finally feel supported in lasting change. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Specialties: I work with anxiety, trauma, burnout, and stress related to life transitions and relationships. Therapy often includes EMDR, grounding skills, and nervous system regulation to help you feel more settled and connected in your body. Many clients notice they feel more confident, more emotionally steady, and more able to show up in relationships without feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Credentials & Experience: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor trained in EMDR and trauma-informed work. I help people make sense of patterns that once protected them but now feel stuck, so they can slowly feel safer, clearer, and more grounded in life.

"I use EMDR to help clients process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity connected to them. We move at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you. Sessions are designed to feel safe, grounding, and supportive, with an emphasis on gradual and lasting change."
