Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!

I help people who feel stuck in a cycle of over functioning, people pleasing, disconnection and overwhelm learn to break this cycle and get to a place of grounding, clarity and authenticity.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal childhood wounds, and to live authentically and fully present in their own body and life.

You don't have to figure it out on your own. If you’re seeking complex trauma therapy, I may be the right fit for you.

Who I Help

Many of my clients struggle as you do. On the outside, it looks like they’re doing fine: they meet their responsibilities and then some. But inside, they feel disconnected and overwhelmed.

They’ve pushed through to meet the needs and expectations of others, sometimes to the detriment of their own mental, emotional, and physical health. They’ve tried to navigate challenging or toxic family systems, and have struggled with their sense of self worth, self-esteem and toxic shame.

And this can be a lot to carry.

Together, we can identify the roots of anxiety and depression, heal childhood trauma, and break ground on a new foundation that aligns with your values and needs.

“Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.”

- Nate Postlethwait

How I can help you:

Complex Trauma

Therapy can help you develop an understanding of how an emotionally challenging, neglectful or distant family dynamic can impact your sense of self, and your relationship with yourself and others.

High Functioning Depression

This often manifests as a silent battle: on the outside you seem to appear fine, but inside you may struggle with low mood and hopelessness. Therapy offers support in navigating this struggle, helping you regain equilibrium and peace of mind.

People with high functioning anxiety appear to function well, and often are very productive, but can struggle with persistent worry, self-doubt, and stress. Therapy can help you learn to manage symptoms and work towards your goals in a balanced way.
