About My Clients

Do you feel like you’re holding yourself together on the outside, while inside there’s worry, pressure, and self-doubt that no one really sees? Maybe you’re exhausted from overthinking, comparing yourself to others, or trying to be “the strong one.” You may know the patterns come from earlier relationships or family dynamics, but you’re not sure how to change them.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed therapist trained in EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness. I help clients make sense of the patterns and emotional reactions that show up in their relationships, self-talk, and stress responses. Instead of just managing symptoms, we work to understand where they come from and heal the emotions underneath.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should feel like a supportive relationship where your full humanity is welcome. I affirm LGBTQ+ identities, neurodiversity, and the complexity of family and cultural experiences. My work is rooted in compassion, anti-shame, and honoring your pace.
