My Approach to Helping
When you are looking for a therapist, it is often because something no longer feels manageable on your own. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past trauma, living with chronic pain, or exhausted from always holding it together. You might appear high-achieving and capable on the outside, but inside you feel disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck.
You do not have to go through this alone. I believe in the power of therapy to create meaningful change at any stage of life. Whether you are navigating emotional pain, physical symptoms, or long-standing patterns, healing is possible. From the very first session, my hope is that you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I integrate talk therapy with somatic and mind-body approaches, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy. These methods support nervous system regulation, help process stuck trauma, and strengthen your connection to yourself. Together, we explore how your nervous system has adapted to past experiences and how those patterns show up today. With curiosity and care, we create space for new ways of relating to yourself and the world.
I see symptoms as meaningful responses to overwhelming circumstances. They are often your system’s best attempt to help you survive. I hold space for your whole experience, not just the parts that feel painful. Many of the clients I work with are highly sensitive people, creatives, perfectionists, and caretakers who are ready to move from surviving to healing. Therapy with me is relational, personalized, and deeply attuned to your needs.
If this speaks to you, I would be honored to support your healing.
