About My Clients

Are you noticing that things from your past are affecting your functioning? Or maybe you’re reacting to things in ways you don’t like or maybe don't fully understand. It might have been one experience that changed everything, or a long stretch of difficult situations that left lasting marks. You may feel stuck, guarded, or disconnected from yourself and others. If this sounds familiar, I’m here to help you untangle the impact of those experiences and begin rebuilding a sense of safety, trust, an

My Background and Approach

As a trauma therapist, I help people improve their mental health, process painful experiences, and connect with their strengths. I draw from narrative approaches, inner child work, and mind-body techniques to support nervous system and emotional regulation throughout the healing journey. I help by not just listening, but really hearing you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I meet clients where they are at and help them figure out where they want to go. The in between is where we walk together at your pace. I like to learn what helps you best; do you need someone to sit and witness your story, or maybe you need someone who is going to help you stay accountable to your goals. I am a hard worker in the sense that I do everything I can to help you do the hard work, but I have the awareness to slowdown when necessary and be present in the moments where you might need to simply feel safe or need a laugh. Working with me means that we will show up together to "get the work done" while also sharing laughs and celebrating the mundane.
