My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you move beyond coping toward meaningful change. I use trauma-informed therapy and EMDR to help your system process overwhelming experiences and begin to feel more steady, while also working through the patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, and stress.

Together we will begin to understand what’s been contributing to your anxiety, panic, and stress, while helping your system feel more steady and supported. Our work is collaborative and focused, with the goal of helping you feel more grounded, clear, and in control.

My clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and grounded. They tend to feel understood and supported, while also being gently challenged in ways that lead to meaningful progress.

I specialize in working with people who appear to have things together on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally by anxiety, panic, or chronic stress, and are ready to understand and work through the deeper patterns driving those experiences.

I became a therapist because I’ve seen how meaningful change can happen when people feel understood and supported. I was drawn to work that helps people make sense of what they’re going through and move toward a more steady and grounded way of living.

In my practice, we take the time to do deeper work while making sure it feels safe and manageable. This isn’t just about reducing symptoms, it’s about getting to the root of what’s driving them. The same work can also support performance and clarity in other areas of life. When appropriate, extended sessions and intensives are available.
