I help adult women who carry the emotional and physical effects of trauma uncover the root cause of their distress, so they can sleep better, feel safe in their own body, and build a life that doesn’t revolve around managing symptoms.

Together we will explore what’s beneath your symptoms (including possible physical health causes), build greater awareness of your nervous system, and create practical, compassionate ways for you to move toward a life that feels more steady and aligned.

My clients describe me as compassionate and collaborative, offering both deep empathy and gentle guidance toward meaningful change. I am someone who will truly listen to and believes your experiences, especially when you've felt dismissed elsewhere.

are navigating anxiety, chronic stress, mood fluctuations, and the emotional toll of ongoing health concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling misunderstood, invalidated, or blamed for symptoms they’ve been trying to manage for years. I bring a collaborative stance that emphasizes self-trust and practical skills clients can use in daily life.

I know what it feels like to carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, and depression, and to have your body feel like it’s working against you. For years, I struggled not only with emotional and mental health challenges, but also with physical health imbalances that created a domino effect of symptoms. Therapy was a life-changing experience for me.

While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network insurance benefits.
