Introduction

You can explain what happened, so why does it still affect how you feel about yourself and the people you love? Maybe you replay conversations, question your worth, shut down when things get tense, or stay on alert when nothing is wrong. Past experiences can quietly shape what you expect from yourself, your body, and your relationships. You may be tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, pulling away, or feeling like you are too much or never enough. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, feel safer in your own skin, trust yourself again, and create the closeness, confidence, and freedom you have been missing. I specialize in Trauma and PTSD, Self-Esteem, and Relationship Issues with teens and adults. Using EMDR, somatic, and polyvagal-informed therapy, we'll work beyond simply talking about what happened. I'll help you quiet the inner critic, understand what your nervous system is protecting you from, and build a safer relationship with yourself and others. You may be used to carrying a lot while making sure everyone else is okay. Here, you don't have to minimize what happened or explain away how it affected you. I'll meet your story with respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping you create meaningful change at your pace.
