One valuable and powerful concept that has helped me more effectively guide my clients toward healing, growth, and the lives they want is this: We all have a Flintstones nervous system in a Jetsons world. Much of our distress can stem from the mismatch between the world our nervous systems evolved for and the one we live in today. Between the constant demands, stimulation, and pressure to always be on, it's no wonder so many of us feel stressed, anxious, and exhausted.
For many of us, the nervous system sounds the alarm or reacts more strongly than the situation calls for. That’s where I come in. I help your brain and nervous system develop more effective ways of responding, so you can feel calmer, more at ease, and better equipped to handle everyday life.
In our work together, I’ll help you heal unresolved issues from the past while also teaching you skills for body and emotional regulation. The focus isn’t on repeatedly reliving painful experiences, but on moving toward relief and feeling more capable in your everyday life. Even small shifts can bring meaningful relief, sometimes sooner than you might expect. The goal is for your life to not only look good on paper, but to feel good on the inside, too.
My passion is helping people move out of survival mode and into an expansive life that feels nourishing to their nervous system. Instead of constantly bracing for the worst, running on empty, or simply trying to get through the day, you can begin to experience more calm, ease, joy, fun, freedom, and adventure.
Together, we'll explore what's triggering your stress response, what old emotional wounds continue to hijack your present, and what thoughts, beliefs, and patterns are keeping you stuck. I take a holistic approach to healing, looking at the bigger picture of what's contributing to how you feel. I integrate nervous system education, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you find relief, heal past wounds, and move toward a more vibrant life.
With more than 11 years of experience in mental health, I bring clinical expertise and a warm, accepting, and collaborative approach to therapy. I want therapy to feel like a hug to your nervous system: a safe space where you can exhale, feel seen, and work through the hard stuff without having to navigate it alone. I have often found that there is room for encouragement, humor, and a little fun along the way.

Therapeutic Approach
It has been deeply rewarding to help people understand what's happening beneath the surface and make sense of why they're feeling the way they do, to guide them through the healing process, and to equip them with skills they can use in their everyday lives. Much of my work focuses on treating anxiety, nervous system regulation, and healing trauma.Together, we'll explore what's triggering your stress response, what old emotional wounds continue to hijack your present, and what thoughts, beliefs, and patterns are keeping you stuck.
