I offer individual therapy for adults navigating trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, life transitions, and the perinatal period. You may have spent a lot of time reflecting on yourself and your experiences, yet still find yourself reacting in familiar ways, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to feel fully connected to yourself. Sometimes we can understand why we do something and still feel stuck when it comes to changing it.

Therapy with me is warm, curious, and experiential. Together, we’ll slow down and get curious about the experiences, emotions, and protective patterns that continue to shape the way you move through the world. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and attachment-focused approaches. I also welcome neurodivergent clients and celebrate the different ways we each process, experience, and make sense of the world.

I believe there is a steady, authentic part of each of us beneath the patterns we’ve developed to protect ourselves. My hope is to create a space where you can become curious about yourself in new ways, develop more compassion for the parts of you that are struggling, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom. We’ll work together to shift the beliefs that have formed about who you are and what you’re capable of and help you land somewhere new:
“I trust myself.”
“I can handle hard things.”
“My past doesn’t control me.”
“I know who I am.”

For those navigating the perinatal period: Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood can be deeply transformative, bringing both incredible strength and unexpected challenges. Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing from a difficult experience, navigating postpartum, or adjusting to a new identity and role, therapy can offer a space to slow down and recalibrate. I bring EMDR, somatic work, and other experiential approaches into this work to support you in processing what you’ve been through, exploring your shifting identity, strengthening your inner resources, and feeling more grounded as you move through this new chapter.

If you think we’d be a nice fit, I look forward to hearing from you!
