I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. My clients are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and used to holding a lot; whether that’s in their careers, relationships, or families of origin. I tend to lead with curiosity always.. and my style is warm, present, and down-to-earth. I show up fully with you so you don’t feel like just another number in a system, but a person whose story deserves to be heard and honored.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive session where you can simply breathe and be yourself. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you hope to get out of therapy, and what support looks like for you right now.
My approach blends EMDR (when appropriate) and compassion-focused practices. What stands out is the depth and gentleness of the work... we combine practical skills with deeper emotional healing. I’m fully present, helping you feel grounded while also guiding you through the layers beneath anxiety, shame, and self-doubt.
I’m especially passionate about working with adults who grew up in chaotic or emotionally intense environments, those navigating anxiety, shame, identity struggles, trauma, and relationship patterns that feel hard to break. I also support clients who feel disconnected from themselves and are ready to understand their inner world with more clarity, compassion, and stability. If your goal is to feel grounded, understood, and more in control of your emotional life, I warmly invite you to reach out.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help the client reprocess distressing memories or triggers that may be contributing to her panic attacks and anxiety. By guiding her through bilateral stimulation, I can help reduce the emotional intensity of these experiences and support calmer responses in the present.
Compassion Focused
Compassion-focused therapy is helpful if you’re dealing with self-criticism, shame, or depression by teaching you how to develop a more supportive and kind inner voice. It helps calm the threat system in your brain and builds emotional resilience through practicing self-compassion.
