Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, irritable, depressed, & burnt out? Noticing strain in your relationships, low self worth, or inability to attain balance due to anxiety, depression or behaviors you just can’t stop? I help people struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, ADHD, trauma and depression to have self compassion & step into their power. You aren’t alone, we can work together to understand your thought & behavior patterns, empower your voice & set sustainable habits & boundaries. We will get curious about where you are, where you have been & set small, attainable goals to build toward where you want to be.

I am an attachment trauma specialist. I am trained in cognitive (brain based), somatic (body based) and psychedelic therapies including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Poly Vagal Theory and BeFree Breathwork. I offer 60-180 minute sessions tailored to your needs and preferences.

I am amazed by my clients’ resilience & strength everyday. I have a passion for EMDR, IFS and psychedelic therapy because these approaches can provide sustainable relief. I believe all parts of yourself are valid. Let’s work together to accept what is here now, step out of fear & into your authentic self.
