Underneath the pain from past challenges and fear of the future lies our most authentic selves. Whether that grief stems from childhood wounds or wounds created along the way. I work with individuals who are fatigued by the weight of their traumatic burdens and recognize that they are-and can be more-than what the trauma narrative describes. By looking through the trees and into the core of being, I help individuals navigate a terrain that appears and feels perilous. To find themselves once again at the end of their therapeutic journey. I am a trauma informed therapist who prioritizes stability prior to processing traumatic experiences. As your therapist, we will begin working on building mental/emotional resilience in the nervous system prior to delving into past suffering. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, OCD, eating disorders, and attachment wounds. I look forward to hearing ways that I can best assist in your journey towards self-discovery. Whether it is due to readiness for change or a realization that life cannot continue on the way it's being lived. I am here to provide support and potential road maps for growth and healing.
