About My Clients
I work best with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Many struggle with anxiety, shame, identity, relationships, emotional intensity, or body image concerns. My ideal clients want a therapist who is warm, honest, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, while also helping them build insight, emotional safety, and lasting change.
My Background and Approach
I am a relational, trauma-informed therapist who has spent the last 5 years working with high-acuity teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, and eating/body image struggles. My approach is informed by training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal Theory, helping clients better understand the connection between their emotions, nervous system responses, and lived experiences. I specialize in helping clients move beyond survival patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, obsessive thinking, emotional shutdown, and self-criticism. I integrate insight-oriented work with nervous system regulation and practical coping skills to support lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and nonjudgmental while also encouraging deeper self-understanding and emotional healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I bring a liberal, values-driven perspective to my work and believe deeply in compassion, equity, and creating spaces where all identities feel respected and affirmed. I view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in safety, curiosity, and connection, where people can better understand themselves and move toward meaningful change at their own pace. Outside of therapy, I care about holistic health and overall well-being, and I find grounding in time spent in nature, with my pets, reading, gardening, and running. I value balance, presence, and the small daily practices that support emotional and nervous system regulation, both in my own life and in the work I do with clients.
