I’m a trauma-informed therapist who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My work integrates Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a focus on helping your nervous system settle so real change can happen. I offer sessions by phone, which many people find allows them to feel safer in their bodies, less self-conscious, and more able to focus on what they’re experiencing internally. I was drawn to this work after seeing how quietly anxiety, trauma, and depression can take over daily life—disrupting sleep, relationships, confidence, and a sense of safety. I repeatedly met people who were doing everything they could and still felt overwhelmed or stuck. I wanted to help people experience real relief, not just manage symptoms. That path led me into trauma-informed private practice, where I help clients feel calmer, steadier, and more like themselves again. When we begin working together, we move at a thoughtful, supportive pace. Intake isn’t about rushing through your story; it’s about understanding what you’re carrying, how stress shows up in your body and mind, and what feels most important right now. We focus on building safety and trust first. Progress often looks like anxiety becoming less consuming, emotional reactions softening, and a greater sense of grounding in everyday life. I work best with adults who are seeking meaningful relief and are open to deeper healing at a pace that feels respectful and manageable. I’m committed to ongoing learning because effective therapy should continue to evolve. I regularly pursue advanced training in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and body-based approaches, including Polyvagal Theory and IFS. I’m especially interested in how stress and trauma live in the body—and how therapy can help you feel safer, more regulated, and less overwhelmed in daily life.
