About My Clients
My clients are often survivors of childhood trauma, people recovering from addiction, or adults stuck in painful relationship patterns. Many appear successful on the outside but quietly carry anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. Some feel disconnected from their bodies or unsure how to trust themselves and others. They’re ready to stop just coping and begin true healing—finding freedom, authenticity, and deeper connection in their lives and relationships.
My Background and Approach
I’m trained in EMDR and completed a year-long training in Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, an approach that gently uncovers and heals the roots of trauma. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed) and Relational Life Therapy for couples. My work is grounded in compassion, attunement, and curiosity. I believe healing happens when we create safety, reconnect with the body, and give voice to the parts of ourselves that were silenced or hidden. Before focusing on private practice, I worked in residential treatment, supporting adolescents with trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles. That experience deepened my commitment to helping people move beyond survival into freedom and connection. Today, I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through deep healing—whether from childhood abuse, toxic relationships, addiction recovery, or patterns of self-doubt. My style is collaborative and insight-driven, honoring both the past and your present strengths.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that healing trauma isn’t just about talking—it’s about feeling safe in your body again. Trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in our thoughts, which is why a “bottom-up” approach is so powerful. We can’t think our way out of pain we didn’t think our way into. I believe in working gently, at your pace, using approaches that help your body release what it's been holding onto for years. You don’t need to rehash every detail or push through—it’s not about being strong, it’s about feeling safe. I believe real healing is possible when you feel seen, supported, and deeply understood. You deserve to feel calm inside. You deserve to feel whole.
