I work with clients healing from PTSD and complex trauma, including relational trauma, childhood wounds, and experiences that unfolded over time. Many people I work with notice old survival patterns resurfacing in relationships, work, or parenting. We also explore how family history and larger social experiences can quietly shape stress responses today, helping your system feel safer and more grounded in the present.

I work with women navigating identity shifts, burnout, body changes, caregiving roles, cultural expectations, and trauma. Many of my clients are tired of holding everything together. Therapy becomes a space where you don’t have to perform strength. I hold space for the many layers that shape a woman’s experience, honoring how identity and lived experience influence daily life.

Grief is not only about death. It can be the loss of a relationship, a version of yourself, a role, your health, or the life you imagined. I support adults moving through both sudden and complicated grief, creating space for the emotions that don’t always fit into neat stages. Together, we make room for sorrow, meaning-making, and rebuilding in your own time.

My work centers on trauma-informed care for adults healing from single-incident trauma, complex trauma, relational wounds, and long-term stress. I integrate body-aware approaches and parts-focused work to support lasting change—not just insight. Trauma therapy with me is gentle but intentional, helping you move from survival patterns toward greater regulation, clarity, and choice.

Attachment theory guides how I understand relationship patterns, trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. Early experiences shape how we connect as adults, often outside of awareness. I help clients notice these patterns with compassion, especially when they show up in partnerships, friendships, parenting, or work. Together, we build new experiences of safety and connection that feel steadier and more secure.

Brainspotting is one of the primary ways I support deeper healing in my work. Often, people understand their patterns intellectually but still feel them lodged in the body. This approach allows us to slow down and gently follow what your nervous system is holding, creating space for meaningful shifts that don’t rely on pushing, overexplaining, or reliving everything out loud.
