About Me

I believe, without exception, that every person I work with carries within them the capacity to heal. Not as a possibility — as a truth. My role is simply to help you find your way back to that truth when the weight of what you've been through has made it hard to feel.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma and anxiety, and I have been doing this work since 2005. What drives me — what has always driven me — is a deep belief in the power of hope, and in the profound difference it makes when someone finally feels seen, understood, and no longer alone in their struggle.

I am trained and certified in the Comprehensive Resource Model, an approach designed for the treatment of PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and related conditions. I also offer Deep Brain Reorienting, a method that works at the root of traumatic experience — addressing the shock held in the body and nervous system long before words can reach it. Together, these approaches create the internal safety your brain and body need to reprocess even the most painful memories — and to step into your life more fully, more freely, and more like yourself.

My deepest hope for you is this: that you leave our work together feeling at ease in your own skin, capable of real connection, and closer to the life you have always known, somewhere inside, was meant for you.
