Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally drained—even though you appear high-functioning on the outside? Do you find yourself stuck in patterns, disconnected from yourself, or struggling to move forward despite your insight and effort?

I specialize in working with adults experiencing chronic stress, burnout, and the effects of trauma. Many of my clients are self-aware and capable, yet feel exhausted, numb, or caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or difficult relationship dynamics.

Using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and a collaborative, down-to-earth approach, I help you process the experiences that are keeping you stuck. Our work focuses on reducing emotional overwhelm, increasing nervous system regulation, and helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected in your daily life.

Interested in focused, accelerated work? Learn more about my EMDR Intensives.

I also support adolescents and adults navigating adoption-related trauma, attachment wounds, and early experiences of loss or (physical and/or emotional) separation from birth parents.

My approach is warm, genuine, and deeply empathetic. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported at your own pace. Clients often share that they feel truly seen and heard in our work together.

If you’re ready to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with yourself, I offer a free phone consultation to help you determine if EMDR therapy is the right fit.
