    Therapeutic Style

    I work with high achievers/perfectionists (healthcare workers, caregivers) navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, major life changes, loss and anticipatory grief, attachment/estrangement, medical trauma, and more. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic experiencing through the lens of trauma-informed care. I help people notice where stress, trauma, and perfectionism show up in their bodies and minds. Pain isn’t a flaw, it’s a signal of survival. By addressing trauma physically and emotionally, we create space to move forward, make empowered choices, and build a life rooted in clarity, strength, and purpose. Grounded in a social justice perspective, my approach is collaborative & compassionate. I meet clients where they are, every time. I work with clients to reconnect with self, strengthen relationships, and center needs, helping to navigate life’s challenges with more ease and confidence. Sliding Scale and OON billing options are available!

    What Makes Me Unique

    I bring humor, passion, empathy, and realness! I am easy to talk to and I prioritize ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table.
