About Me

Many clients find me when they’re at a crossroads—feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, overwhelmed by work, family, or relationship stress, and ready for something different. I help clients process past and present experiences through EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed care, exploring the beliefs, relationships, and emotions that shape their inner world. My approach is rooted in radical kindness, attachment theory, and deep respect for each person’s unique journey. Sessions are collaborative, honest, and healing—with room for laughter, ritual, and transformation. “There may be constraints on what your life can look like, but there are no constraints on whether your life is worth living.” —Marsha Linehan
