About My Clients

Do you find yourself putting everyone else’s needs and desires before your own, or struggling to set the boundaries you need to feel your authentic self? Do you ever feel stuck in a haze or caught in emotional loops that feel difficult to break? Whether these feelings stem from childhood experiences, past trauma, or simply not feeling fully supported or loved growing up, please know that there is a path toward feeling more like yourself again and I'd be honored to walk with you on that path.

My Background and Approach

For me, this work is deeply personal. I use the exact same tools in my own life that I share with my clients. Because of that, I know firsthand just how much courage it takes to process and untangle old wounds—and I also know the incredible sense of relief, clarity, and peace waiting on the other side. To support your healing, we will use tools like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, somatic (body-based) therapy, and/or the Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) to discover what works best for you. Together, we’ll gently untangle the painful patterns holding you back, help you rebuild a loving relationship with yourself, and create a life that feels genuinely connected and calm. Let’s take that first step together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all deserve to be heard, seen and shown compassion and care on our hardest days. As Ann Voskamp says, "Shame dies when stories are told in safe places."
