About Me
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. When trauma, stress, and anxiety begin to overlap, life can feel tense, overwhelming, or unpredictable in ways that are hard to manage alone. Whether you’re dealing with the aftereffects of painful experiences, constant worry, or a sense of being on edge, you deserve care that is both compassionate and effective. I use evidence based approaches - including EMDR, CBT, and ACT - to help you understand your nervous system, reduce anxiety, process what’s been overwhelming, and build skills for steadiness and resilience. With 20+ years of experience, I collaborate with you to create a plan that fits your needs and pace. I’m an in-network provider with several major insurance plans, and I’m happy to help you understand how to use your benefits. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s connect for a free 20-minute consultation and see if we’re a good fit.
