I’m happy to see you! You may feel stuck, moving between overwhelm and numbness. You tried therapy before without lasting relief and find yourself scrolling, staying busy, or avoiding hard feelings to get through the day. In relationships, you may hold back, worry about conflict, or feel responsible for keeping the peace. You’re not looking for quick fixes anymore—you want to understand why these patterns keep showing up and get to the root of what’s driving them. You’re ready to reconnect with yourself and others, build self-acceptance, break long-standing patterns, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and authentic. I bring 12 years as an occupational therapist into my trauma-informed therapy work, helping people heal by addressing both mind and body. Using EMDR and body-based approaches, we explore relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and emotionally abusive experiences—supporting lasting, meaningful change. I'm honored to help you rediscover who you were before outside forces made you doubt your worth. I'm passionate about supporting you to understand your emotions, reclaim your agency, and build an authentic, fulfilling life. Walking alongside you as you reconnect with yourself and create meaningful change is deeply meaningful to me.

I became a therapist because I saw how many people were taught to survive instead of truly live. Trauma doesn’t just come from what happened — it comes from the systems, relationships, and environments that told you who you had to be to stay safe. I was drawn to this work because I believe healing is not about “fixing” yourself, but about uncovering who you were before you had to adapt, hide, or harden. What motivates me to continue is walking alongside people as they begin to trust themselves again. Trauma can disconnect you from your body, your voice, and your sense of identity. Therapy becomes a space to gently excavate what was buried — your instincts, your boundaries, your worth — and to build a life that isn’t organized around fear or survival, but around choice and authenticity. I believe healing is an act of empowerment. It’s about learning to feel safe enough to be real, to take up space, and to decide who you want to be outside of the roles trauma assigned you. My work is rooted in helping people reclaim themselves — not as they were told to be, but as they truly are.
