Specialty: Therapy for Trauma

A group of diverse people standing close together in an embrace, smiling.

My work focuses on supporting you through experiences such as:

  • Living in a near-constant state of vigilance, even when things are calm

  • Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or, at times, completely shut down

  • Struggling to trust others or feel safe in close relationships

  • A persistent sense of “I’m too much” or “something is wrong with me”

  • Replaying interactions and wondering what you did wrong

Here, trauma is not treated as a problem to “fix”— it’s acknowledged, validated, and addressed with care and respect.

You deserve therapy that truly honors your experiences and supports you in reclaiming safety, autonomy, and resilience.

  • Reduce anxiety, overwhelm, and hypervigilance without pressure to “just get over it”

  • Strengthen self-trust, autonomy, and emotional safety

  • Reconnect with your needs, boundaries, and authentic self

Sessions are collaborative, paced to your comfort, and designed around your unique needs and readiness.
