Biographical Info
When anxiety ramps up or depression pulls you down, getting through the day can feel like a lot. You might be overthinking everything and your mind won’t stop racing, or you might be heavy, slow, and struggling to feel anything at all. Relief is possible, you just need some help getting there. I specialize in working teens and adults struggling with anxiety and depression. We’ll explore what’s beneath why you feel the way you do—not just through your thoughts, but also through your body—to help you shift what’s keeping you stuck at a more embodied level.
I bring a range of tools, from practical strategies to somatic, experiential methods, so we can shape a process that feels right for where you are and where you want to go. I integrate Hakomi (somatic mindfulness), EMDR, internal family systems, attachment / internal childhood experiences, and emotionally focused therapy.
I’ll be honest with you, challenge you when you need it, and help you see the patterns you’re in. I’m here to meet you in this work with warmth, care, and deep investment in your healing. Together, we’ll help you step into a life of greater ease, resilience, and fulfillment. Schedule a free consultation on my website. I look forward to connecting with you!
