About My Clients

I specialize in treating generalized anxiety, body dysmorphia, and complex trauma, with a specific focus on helping individuals untangle the complexities of their lived experiences. If you are feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected, I am here to help you move toward greater clarity, confidence, and alignment within yourself. My psychotherapeutic practice is centered in integrative awareness, grounding rigorous clinical care in deep mind-body and psychosocial connections.

My Background and Approach

I work well with people who are open to curiosity and reflection and who are interested in exploring their emotions, inner experiences, and the connection between mind and body. I have additional training in EMDR, Integrative Gestault, and Hypnotherapy. When a person experiences a traumatic event, the brain's natural processing system can become overwhelmed, causing the memory to get stuck in its raw, emotional state. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic recall. Gestalt therapy is an experiential, present-focused approach that helps people become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in the moment. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access a calm, receptive state of mind. In this state, individuals may be able to explore thoughts, emotions, and underlying beliefs more easily.
