About Me

Do anxiety, relationship struggles, or past wounds feel like they’re holding you back? Maybe you’re navigating a life transition, coping with grief, or feeling weighed down by past experiences. I offer a supportive space for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected from the people and things that are important to them. Together, we’ll process unresolved wounds, quiet self-criticism, and manage anxiety to rediscover what brings fulfillment and connection to your life. As an EMDR therapist, I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. EMDR is a proven, effective approach for processing trauma and helping your mind and body work through past experiences that continue to cause distress. If traditional talk therapy hasn’t been helpful for you, EMDR may offer a fresh path to clarity, relief, and healing. My approach blends EMDR, somatic techniques, mindfulness, and parts-work to support nervous system regulation and trauma healing. When reflection or problem-solving feels most helpful, I incorporate CBT techniques to guide meaningful conversations. My work is grounded in compassion and informed by an anti-racist, social justice lens. I affirm all identities and create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your emotions and experiences freely. With over eight years of experience, I’m here to help you lighten your life’s burdens and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels aligned with your true self. Let’s work together to create the healing and change you’re looking for. Reach out today to schedule a 15-minute consultation call. *I only provide virtual appointments at this time.
