Areas of Focus

Anxiety
& Burnout

Fearing the future, ruminating over the past, thoughts that keep circling, overstimulation, doubting yourself, panic attacks…anxiety can leave you feeling so trapped. You deserve both insight and tools to support you in reconnecting with a sense of ease.

Coping with Chronic
Health Conditions

Whether you’re frustrated with limited answers from doctors, grappling with the limitations of your body, or struggling with the impact of illness on your relationships, I am eager to be along side you. I’m here to tell you its not all in your head, make space to grieve what you’ve been going through, and cultivate hope.

Our nervous systems hold on to overwhelming experiences in an attempt to support us, however this can often keep us feeling stuck. I am trained in EMDR, a trauma treatment focused on using a mind-body approach to desensitize and reprocess past events.

Trauma

Sense
of Self

Perhaps you are having trouble making decisions, setting boundaries with the people around you, or connecting to a sense of purpose. Getting clarity within ourselves can truly improve the way we relate to ongoing stressors and the people in our lives

I’m happy to have you here
