About My Clients
I work with adults who are tired of performing, fixing, or pretending to be okay. Many have childhood trauma, emotionally unavailable parents, or were the “strong one” in the family. They struggle with anxiety, shutdown, reactivity, or chronic pain that doctors can’t explain. Most of them have tried therapy before and still feel stuck. They want more than coping, they want real change. I work best with people who are ready to look deeper and do the work.
My Background and Approach
I'm a trauma-informed counselor, certified wellness coach, and author with advanced training in EMDR, somatic work, and belief rewiring. I’ve also healed from a chronic pain condition that doctors said was incurable, so I understand firsthand what it’s like to feel dismissed, stuck, or unseen. My work is deeply structured but personalized, designed for clients who want more than surface-level talk therapy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, and chronic stress rooted in childhood experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel lost, numb, or like they’re constantly managing a storm beneath the surface. I integrate brain and body-based tools to help you uncover patterns, release stored pain, and build a sense of clarity, connection, and grounded confidence. I’m not here to just listen, I’m here to help you actually shift.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to stop performing and start being real. I value honesty, autonomy, and depth, both in my personal life and in the work I do with clients. I’m neurodivergent myself and understand the unique challenges of high-functioning autism, especially the exhaustion of masking, sensory overload, and the pressure to meet invisible expectations. I work from a place of lived experience, not just training. I support LGBTQ+ affirming care, trauma-informed practices, and the dismantling of generational shame. I believe in honoring nervous system differences, supporting emotional complexity, and breaking cycles of survival-based living. I’m passionate about helping people unlearn who they had to become and reconnect with who they actually are. Outside of work, I care deeply about animal rescue, holistic wellness, and challenging systems that silence or pathologize sensitivity, intuition, and intensity.
