My Mission

As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide psychotherapy for adults navigating significant life changes. My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Life can be overwhelming, especially when anxiety, depression, or past trauma make it hard to find peace. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just not like yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re going through, and find a way forward.

How I can help, my areas of specialization: 

  • Anxiety & Stress – Finding calm, balance, and relief from overwhelm
  • Depression – Reconnecting with hope, motivation, and joy
  • Trauma (Single-Incident & Complex Trauma) – Healing past wounds and creating a sense of safety
  • Grief & Loss – Moving through sorrow with support and self-compassion
  • Relationships & Connection – Overcoming challenges in building meaningful relationships

Why Trauma Can Feel So Overwhelming

Your mind and body have always worked hard to protect you—even in ways that might not make sense right now. Maybe you shut down when emotions get too big, or you feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve you. These responses aren’t your fault. They were survival strategies, and they worked when you needed them most. But they don’t have to define you forever.

With the right support, you can create new patterns that bring more ease, connection, and stability into your life. Healing starts with self-awareness and self-compassion, and you don’t have to do it alone.

A Therapy Approach That Works for You

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, so our work together will be tailored to what you need. I integrate:

  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) – Building emotional resilience and awareness
  • Ego State Therapy – Helping different parts of yourself heal and work together
  • Polyvagal Theory – Learning to regulate your nervous system for a greater sense of safety
  • Existential Therapy – Exploring meaning, purpose, and self-discovery
  • Hypnosis & EMDR – Processing trauma and fostering deep healing

Healing is possible. You’re not broken—you’re adapting. And with support, you can find relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself and others.

No matter where you are in your journey, support is available. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re ready to take the next step toward greater self-awareness, stability, and connection, I’m here to help.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected for a while?

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Life can be very challenging when you’re carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or painful relationship patterns. Maybe you’re constantly overthinking, feeling emotionally raw, or struggling to feel truly connected—to others or even to yourself. Maybe it’s been this way for a long time.

Therapy offers a place to pause, breathe, and begin again—with support.

I specialize in working with adults who are living with the lasting impact of complex trauma, difficult family dynamics, emotional abuse, or just the deep exhaustion that comes from holding it all together for too long. My approach combines evidence-based methods like EMDR, Ego State Therapy, mindfulness, and parts work to gently help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—and start shifting what’s no longer serving you.

This is your space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

Together, we’ll create a safe and compassionate environment to uncover the roots of your struggles, build on your resilience, and reconnect you with the sense of self-worth, confidence, and calm you’ve been missing. Healing isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. It’s about honoring the ways you’ve coped, and creating new pathways that feel lighter, more hopeful, and more aligned with the life you want to live.

Areas I work with:

  • Depression, low motivation, and emotional numbness

  • Anxiety, panic, and chronic worry

  • Complex trauma and childhood neglect or abuse

  • Emotional overwhelm and dissociation

  • Codependency and boundary challenges

  • Difficult or toxic family relationships

  • Grief, loss, and major life transitions

Therapy can help you:

  • Feel more grounded and present in your daily life

  • Understand and manage difficult emotions with more ease

  • Heal patterns rooted in past pain

  • Develop healthy boundaries and stronger self-trust

  • Reconnect with who you really are beneath the stress


If any of this speaks to you, you’re in the right place.Let’s talk about how therapy can support the changes you’re ready for.
