About The Therapist

Have you tried to think your way out of your struggles to no avail? Maybe you’ve tried to be more positive, but those thoughts don’t seem to stick. Many of us use coping skills, distraction, or reasoning to manage pain, only to find it still lingers. What if healing isn’t about managing pain or forcing positivity, but gently releasing what you’ve been holding? With deep respect for the mind-body connection, we’ll uncover and release what no longer serves you. I’ll support you in regulating emotions, interrupting old cycles, and building a life where you can finally feel at ease in your own skin.
 As a licensed therapist, I am committed to providing personalized, research-supported care grounded in the latest developments in neuroscience and psychology. I specialize in helping individuals heal from the effects of adverse life experiences using evidence-based modalities including EMDR, somatic therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am a Level 2 Certified Complex Trauma Professional, trained in EMDR and somatic approaches, and IFS-informed.

My work is driven by a deep belief in the human capacity for healing and transformation. I understand the barriers people face in accessing the right kind of support, which is why I’ve dedicated my career to creating a safe, informed, and empowering space for growth. I am continually deepening my knowledge and skills to offer clients the most effective and compassionate care possible, supporting them in building richer, more meaningful lives.
