What's My Approach to Therapy?

You're an educated, capable human who has achieved success and endured challenges. Your personal life includes blessings, but unexpected curve balls also. From the outside, you appear composed and accomplished; but inside, there’s grief for what hurt you, frustration with internal patterns, and a quiet longing for peace and emotional renewal. You’ve worked hard, grown wiser, and learned a great deal – but parts of you still feel stuck in non-desired emotional responses. You want your inner life to finally align with your values, desires, and dreams, without forcing change or minimizing what you have been through.

My Practice & Services

Using various trauma-informed techniques (options including EMDR, somatic-based approaches, hypnotherapy, expressive arts, and IFS), we’ll examine and shift internal patterns shaped by your past experience. Sessions integrate careful listening, thoughtful insight, and intuitive understanding so change feels grounded, personal, and sustainable, not pressured or performative.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to you. Over time, many people enjoy more emotional ease, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Old disappointments lose their grip, and life begins to feel more aligned with what truly matters to you. This work supports peace, fulfillment, and fresh momentum forward.
