Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, restlessness, or a persistent sense of dread that colors everything. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help you understand your patterns and build practical tools that work in real life, not just the therapy room. If it's panic, generalized worry, or the quiet hum of high-pressure work, we'll find ways to calm your nervous system and build resilience. I also incorporate somatic techniques to help your body feel safe.

Career stress rarely stays at the office. It shows up as burnout, self-doubt, and a nagging sense of "is this really it?" It bleeds into your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of self. I help professionals navigate career transitions, recover from burnout, and regain insight into what matters to them at work and beyond. Together we'll explore your values, build confidence, and create a path that feels aligned with the life you actually want.

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, on edge, or disconnected from yourself and the people you love. Whether you're carrying symptoms of PTSD or the quieter weight of complex or developmental trauma, I use EMDR, IFS, and somatic interventions through a polyvagal lens to help your nervous system find safety. We'll work at your pace, building resources and processing what's been stored in your body. Healing doesn't mean reliving the worst moments alone. You can move from surviving to feeling presen

EMDR helps your brain process memories that are stuck, so past experiences stop feeling like they're happening now. I guide you through gentle bilateral stimulation while we work at your pace, building resources and staying grounded. You don't have to relive the worst moments or talk through every detail. EMDR can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, ease triggers, and help your nervous system settle. It's a structured, evidence-based approach that supports deep healing.

IFS is a compassionate approach that helps you get to know the different parts of yourself: the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the protector. Instead of seeing these parts as problems, we get curious about them. We create space for each part to feel heard and unburden the pain it carries, so your core Self steps forward with more calm, clarity, and confidence. It's a great fit whether you have a specific diagnosis or just feel pulled in too many directions.

Somatic therapy helps you understand how stress, trauma, and constant busyness show up in your body and nervous system. Using polyvagal-informed techniques, I help clients notice their patterns: tension, shallow breathing, the urge to push through—and build capacity to shift out of fight-or-flight. You'll learn to read your nervous system, resource yourself in the moment, and feel at home in your body again. Grounding, practical, and useful for anxious high achievers and trauma survivors alike.
