You might be here because…
✓ Exhausted from carrying everyone else's needs
✓ Holding yourself to impossible standards
✓ Struggling to rest without guilt
✓ Constantly questioning yourself
✓ Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck
✓ Putting yourself last while taking care of everyone else
✓ Ready for something to change
If you're nodding along, you're not alone.
And you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
I help women who are ready to stop surviving and start trusting themselves.
The women I work with are often the ones everyone else depends on.
They're thoughtful, capable, caring, and deeply committed to the people they love.
Yet beneath the surface, many are carrying anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and the pressure to hold everything together.
Together, we'll work to uncover the patterns keeping you stuck so you can reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels more grounded, peaceful, and aligned.

You may see yourself in one of these stories, or in all of them.
Either way, you don't have to navigate it alone.
A Different Approach to Healing
Healing isn't about forcing yourself to think differently or pushing through harder.
The patterns that keep you stuck today often developed for a reason. They helped you survive difficult experiences, navigate relationships, and make sense of the world around you.
Together, we'll explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.
Using EMDR, somatic approaches, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system-informed care, we'll work to help you process what no longer serves you, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater confidence, peace, and self-trust.
My goal isn't to help you become someone new.
It's to help you come home to who you've always been.

Create Lasting Change
Healing isn't just about feeling better. It's about creating a life that feels more peaceful, present, and aligned with who you truly are.e.
My work integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, parts work, and polyvagal-informed care.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR-trained therapist, mother, and recovering perfectionist who knows what it's like to carry more than your share.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with therapy and healing. Like many of the women I work with, I've navigated anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, and the ongoing work of breaking patterns that no longer serve me.
In my mid-twenties, I discovered EMDR and experienced firsthand the impact it can have on healing and growth. Later, after becoming a mother and facing my own perinatal mental health challenges, I felt an even deeper calling to support women who were struggling beneath the weight of expectations, anxiety, and overwhelm.
For the past ten years, I've worked in community mental health supporting individuals facing some of life's most complex challenges. Those experiences have deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the incredible capacity people have to heal when they feel supported, understood, and empowered.
Today, I help women move beyond survival mode and reconnect with themselves.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe healing is not about becoming someone new. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, trusting yourself more fully, and creating a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they move through the darkness and reconnect with their own light.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR helps the brain process experiences that continue to feel stuck so you can move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and peace.
Together, we'll address the root of what's keeping you stuck rather than simply managing symptoms.

Supporting mothers is one of my specialties.

Many women come to therapy feeling frustrated because they've read the books, listened to the podcasts, practiced self-care, and gained insight into their patterns, yet still feel stuck.
Insight is important, but understanding something and fully healing from it are not always the same thing.
Therapy can help bridge the gap between knowing why you struggle and experiencing meaningful change in the way you think, feel, and respond to life's challenges.

Not at all.
While EMDR is well known for helping people heal from trauma, it can also be effective for anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-beliefs, difficult life experiences, and other patterns that continue to impact your daily life.
You don't need to have experienced a single major event to benefit from EMDR. Together, we'll determine whether it's an appropriate fit for your goals and needs.
