If you’ve spent years feeling like you’re not enough or questioning yourself, that didn’t come out of nowhere. Early experiences can shape how you see yourself and what you expect from others. I help you understand where those patterns started and shift them so you can feel more sure of yourself and less stuck in those same thoughts.

Anxiety often isn’t just about what’s happening right now. It can feel like your mind is always scanning for what might go wrong, or like you can’t fully relax even when things are okay. You might overthink, second-guess yourself, or feel constantly on edge. Together, we look at what’s underneath it and help your system learn that it doesn’t have to stay in that state all the time.

Trauma can keep your mind and body stuck in survival mode long after the experience is over. You might feel on edge, overwhelmed, or like something is off even when life looks fine on the outside. For many people, these patterns started earlier in life and never fully got the chance to process. I use EMDR and other approaches to help you work through what you’ve been carrying so it no longer feels like it’s taking over your life.

EMDR helps your brain process experiences that feel stuck so they no longer carry the same intensity. You don’t have to talk through every detail. Instead, we work in a structured way that allows your brain to do what it naturally knows how to do, so the past feels less present in your day-to-day life.

Somatic therapy focuses on how your body holds onto past experiences, not just your thoughts. You might notice tension, shutdown, or a constant sense of being on edge. We gently work with these patterns so your body can start to feel safer and more settled over time.

Parts work helps you understand the different sides of yourself that developed to cope with what you’ve been through. Some parts might try to protect you, while others carry pain. Instead of fighting those parts, we get curious about them so you can feel more understood and less pulled in different directions.
