My style is gentle, empathetic, and pretty laid-back — I aim to create a space that feels soft, supportive, and safe enough for you to show up exactly as you are (sweatpants, snacks, big feelings, all of it). I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach and believe you are the author of your own story, with me as a guide along the way. I work with complex trauma (cPTSD) and use modalities like EMDR, somatic (brain-body) work, parts work, and narrative therapy. These approaches can be especially helpful for trauma and neurodivergence, where experiences often live beyond words, as they support your nervous system in processing and shifting patterns that have been stuck for a long time. I focus on getting to the root of what's going on while also helping you build stability, set boundaries, and create a life that feels more manageable. I always hold in mind how much environment and lived experience shape mental health — especially for neurodivergent people and anyone navigating trauma. Many of the concerns that bring people into therapy are shaped by trying to exist in spaces or systems that didn't fully understand or support them. You don't have to force yourself to fit into a world that wasn't built with you in mind. We can move at your pace and figure things out together as you begin to make sense of your experiences and what you actually need.
