About My Clients

Do you feel like you're stuck in a pattern of being likable, easy going, and taking care of others? If this sounds like you, I'm here to help! I help adults discover life beyond the struggle of severe anxiety and emotional trauma through an embodied, somatic approach. During our work together you will learn to tune into yourself and connect with what you truly want, say no without guilt getting in the way, and live more authentically rather than being the most charming person at the party.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach is informed by Polyvagal Theory and attachment-based perspectives. I take pride in working from a trauma-informed, non-judgemental, resiliency-focused lens, and understand the unique ways complex and relational trauma can show up in the therapeutic relationship. I have years of experience in eating disorder treatment, and am trained in Post-Traumatic Growth. I offer unique services, like immersives and nervous system resets. Immersives offer a space for a focused, in-depth exploration of what's keeping you stuck, and are designed to get you to your goals faster than traditional therapy. Nervous system resets are a great option for people who are intimidated by therapy, or are not able to commit to consistent sessions. They are intended to help people find peace and regulation through a nervous system oriented approach that doesn't require sharing personal or intimate details of your life.
