About My Clients
My ideal client is someone who has spent much of their life in survival mode—high-functioning on the outside but feeling disconnected, anxious, or exhausted inside. They may have experienced relational or developmental trauma, emotional neglect, or patterns of unsafe attachment that have left their nervous system on alert and their relationships feeling unpredictable or distant. Together, we work to bring compassion and awareness to these adaptive patterns, creating new experiences of safety.
My Background and Approach
My approach is grounded in relational neuroscience — the understanding that healing happens within safe, attuned relationships where the nervous system can experience regulation, resonance, and repair. I integrate story-informed trauma therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and attachment theory to help clients make sense of how their past experiences have shaped current patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating. In our work, I pay attention not only to the stories you tell, but also to how your body tells them — through breath, tone, and movement. Sessions are paced with care, helping your nervous system shift from protection to connection. Over time, we strengthen your capacity for regulation, deepen self-understanding, and create experiences of safety that support lasting change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Walking with people as they recover from the impact of trauma is my life’s work. I understand how much courage it takes to face the hardest parts of your story — especially when you’re unsure if the effort and discomfort will be worth it. I’ve walked this path myself with help. Now I walk alongside many others, and I’ll hold trust in the process for you until you can hold it for yourself. I’ve received extensive training in understanding the long-term effects of childhood adversity and trauma, including domestic abuse, neglect, sexual trauma, and betrayal trauma, such as infidelity. There is real hope for life to feel different, and I’m here to help you find it. As a doctoral candidate, I’m deeply committed to ongoing learning in trauma recovery — both for my clients and for myself. I’m also passionate about mentoring new counselors, helping them enter the field with insight, compassion, and a deep respect for the protective wisdom of the human nervous system.
