I specialize in:
You may look like you’re holding everything together—but inside, it feels very different.
You might struggle to say no, feel disconnected from your body, or find yourself repeating the same painful patterns in relationships.
Perhaps your past still feels closer than you’d like.
Or your relationship with your body feels complicated.
These patterns didn’t come from nowhere.
They are often rooted in early relationships, lived experiences, and a nervous system that adapted to survive.
My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy.
I use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches to help you process what’s been stored beneath the surface, not just manage the symptoms.
Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and attuned to you—so healing becomes not only possible, but sustainable.
Over time, clients often begin to:
Feel more at home in their bodies
Set boundaries without overwhelming guilt
Shift patterns of over-giving and self-abandonment
Experience more ease in relationships
Develop a stronger, more stable sense of self
