You’ve done so much to keep moving forward. But it’s catching up to you.

You might look like you’ve got it all together. But inside, it can feel like a different story.

You might feel stuck in old patterns, past pain, or unbearable pressure. Maybe something traumatic happened or maybe it’s just been years of surviving.

Whatever it is — you’re ready for things to change.

You don’t have to keep managing on your own.

With a combination of EMDR therapy, parts work, and a nervous system-informed approach, I'll support you to move beyond the pain that keep you stuck.

Together, we’ll go to the root of what’s keeping you anxious, disconnected, sad, or small—so you can feel more alive, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

Clients come to me when they’re ready to:

✔ Heal from something terrible that happened

✔ Move through complex trauma and childhood hurt

✔ Deal with anxiety, overwhelm, or burnout

✔ Stop over-functioning and overthinking in your daily life

✔ Speak up and feel confident in high-stakes situations

✔ Navigate major life transitions with self-compassion

✔ Feel confident and in charge of their lives

✔ Overcome fear of public speaking and lead with clarity

It's time to get un-stuck.
