My approach to psychotherapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored specifically to you. Together, we will explore the patterns—often formed long ago—that may have once protected you but now keep you feeling stuck. Our goal will be to gently release what no longer serves you, so you can step more fully into the life you desire today.
You will be welcomed exactly as you are, with respect and care, regardless of your gender, race, orientation, age, ability, or background. In every session, you can expect to be met with curiosity, compassion, and genuine presence.
I integrate traditional talk therapy with Somatic Experiencing® (SE)—a body-based approach that helps regulate the nervous system and deepen your sense of safety from the inside out. I also draw on Healing Patterns Therapy, a method I developed that uncovers and transforms unconscious relational dynamics rooted in early experiences.
Alongside deep healing work, I will introduce you to The Empowerment Toolbox, a set of practical skills designed to help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable in daily life. This includes effective strategies for managing anxiety and emotional overwhelm, as well as communication skills training so you can express yourself clearly and assertively—without guilt, fear, or apology.
While we will address current symptoms, our work will also go beneath the surface to gently reshape the patterns that no longer fit. You will begin to recognize the emotional templates formed in childhood and learn to replace them with healthier, more self-supportive ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to the world.
I work with adults who experienced emotional neglect, chronic mistreatment, or psychological abuse in childhood—often at the hands of caregivers. This kind of complex trauma often leads to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), quietly influencing self-worth, relationships, and the ability to feel safe in the world.
Many of my clients live with persistent anxiety, self-doubt, and a tendency to people-please. They have often done a great deal of personal work but still feel as though life is harder than it should be. They feel stuck.
Unhealed survival patterns from childhood can persist in the background until they are named and addressed. In our sessions, speaking the truth becomes a powerful act of empowerment and freedom. With compassion and clarity, we will untangle the past and help you build a life where you feel respected, confident, and truly at home in yourself—committed to being on your own side, always.
Healing deepens in connection. My calm, grounded presence will help your nervous system settle, creating a felt sense of safety. Over time, this steady support will enable you to move from chronic stress into a more balanced, embodied way of being.
My goal is to help you become your own best ally. After exploring the patterns shaped by your early experiences and processing what no longer serves you, you will create a new way of being grounded in self-respect and personal truth. You will feel empowered, more connected to yourself, and free to live with integrity. If you are ready to begin, I am here to guide and support you as you create lasting change.
