Empowering you to navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

When you are carrying the weight of trauma, overwhelming anxiety, or the heavy grief of a major life transition, simply taking the first step toward healing can feel exhausting. Whether you are feeling stuck in your career, navigating a profound life change, or trying to process painful past experiences, you do not have to carry it alone. I help clients navigate these complex challenges by creating a safe, highly collaborative, and judgment-free space where you can truly be heard. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I believe in treating the whole person—mind and body. I have extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and frequently use it alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic (body-based) practices to help untangle past traumas and calm the nervous system. I also weave in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to help you build practical tools for managing daily anxiety and understanding your own needs. Whether we are working through deep trauma, figuring out your next career steps, or finding grounding amidst grief, we will move at a pace that feels safe and respectful to you. Together, we can build a path toward resilience, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself.
