You may look like you’re holding it together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break.
You might crave closeness while also pulling away, overthinking every interaction, or feeling responsible for keeping everything together. Many of these patterns are rooted in trauma or early relational experiences where safety, consistency, or emotional support were missing. Even if the past feels far away, your body and nervous system may still be carrying it.
Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to figure it out alone. Here, we gently work with trauma and attachment patterns, slow things down, and help your nervous system feel safer. Together, we focus on building a sense of grounding, emotional security, and more fulfilling connections with yourself and others.
My approach
Whether I am working with an adult navigating complex childhood trauma or helping a parent support their child through emotional dysregulation, my approach is rooted in the same core truth: true healing requires a safe nervous system. I don't just look at behaviors; I look at the underlying relational patterns and survival responses that keep you feeling stuck. By combining advanced EMDR, attachment theory, and somatic (body-based) awareness, I help you—or your family—break free from old cycles and step into lasting emotional freedom.
