About My Clients

Mornings are rough. You wake up exhausted, stomach churning, and the to-do list mocks you from the fridge. Work deadlines loom, kids whine, and your IBS just won't quit. Focus? Forget it. Guilt + shame pile on as you struggle to keep up with the never-ending demands. Here's the truth: You're not alone. Millions are juggling the same anxieties, stress, and chronic challenges. But what if there was a way to break free from the cycle and finally get rest, feel better, and gain control?

My Background and Approach

26 years of experience and advanced training in trauma, gut-brain interaction, and mindfulness empower me to help you manage anxiety, stress, and physical issues like IBS, insomnia and chronic pain. Learn proven strategies to tackle daily challenges and achieve your goals. Together, we'll create a plan to help you sleep better, feel empowered, and thrive. Having been in your shoes, my approach is authentic, humorous, and judgement-free. I hold a PhD in Clinical Social Work and am trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Clinical Hypnosis.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see you as a whole person, where the physical, mental, emotional, and social experiences all play a role. Therapy isn't for the "broken." It's for anyone seeking positive change. Together, we can unearth your strengths, build new skills, and reconnect with your authentic self. Slowing down, gaining clarity, and finding freedom are all possible, even amidst life's challenges.
