In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a space to talk about what’s been weighing on you and what you hope might feel different in your life. We’ll explore your current challenges, relevant background, and begin identifying areas to focus on. You can also ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach I help clients understand the deeper patterns behind anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. Using EMDR, attachment based therapy, and somatic awareness, we work to process experiences at the root while building tools for emotional regulation, clarity, and self trust. My communication style My communication style is warm, calm, helpful, and good-natured. I aim to create a safe space where my client feels comfortable and brave to share. I take pride in being grounded, non-judgmental and maintaining unconditional positive regard for my clients. My journey to therapy I've always been described as a "bridge," someone who thrives in making connections, seeking understanding, and helping others. My lived experiences as a teacher, non-profit professional, community advocate, and hospice social worker drew me to therapy. I enjoy seeing others change the relationship they have with all aspects of themselves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You’re high functioning on the outside but internally exhausted. You carry trauma, anxiety, or grief that shows up as overthinking, shutdown, people pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. You want relief, clarity, and emotional steadiness not just coping. You’re ready to understand your patterns, process what’s been stored in your body, and finally feel grounded, present, and whole again. I offer trauma informed therapy and EMDR to help you process painful experiences at the root, not just manage symptoms. My work blends nervous system regulation, insight, and compassion to support lasting change, emotional safety, and reconnection to self. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to holding it together alone. You don’t have to have the right words or be in crisis to begin. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out and see if this feels like the right space for you.
