My Story

For as long as I can remember, anxiety was my normal. I was always doing, fixing, overthinking, over-giving—trying to stay one step ahead of everything and everyone. On the outside, I looked capable. Inside, I felt like I was barely holding it together.

No matter how much I achieved, it never felt like enough.
Because underneath all the striving was a body carrying unspoken grief, shame, and fear.

Eventually, the strategies that once helped me cope growing up—perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-sacrificing—started to unravel. I realized I couldn’t earn my way into feeling worthy. And that I couldn’t keep turning away from myself and still hope to feel whole. 

So I began the slow, brave work of turning inward.

Through therapy, deep inner work, and learning to listen to my body, I started to understand: healing isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about learning how to hold it differently—with compassion, curiosity, and care. It’s about building safety from the inside out. Learning to trust yourself again. Reconnecting with the parts of you that didn’t feel safe to be seen or heard.

Today, I work with adults who carry similar wounds—those navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and patterns of self-doubt or people-pleasing that feel hard to break.

My Why

Because we all deserve to opportunity to heal our trauma and not pass on our hurts to others.

My Philosophy

I used to believe in the “fix it” model of therapy. There was something wrong with me, and I needed a doctor or a therapist to fix it. There was something wrong with my clients, and I worked tirelessly to try to fix it.

It wasn’t until I engaged in my own inner work and furthered my clinical training that I realized the “fix it” attitude was as much a part of the problem as whatever I had thought needed to be fixed. Because ultimately, our humanity doesn’t want to be fixed. It wants to be witnessed.

I have learned that change happens, but not by fixing. Over and over again, I see that my clients only start to heal once the hurts have been heard and witnessed.

So I no longer focus on fixing, because you’re not broken. I focus on seeing what’s been invisible, hearing what’s been silenced and giving space to what’s been pushed away. Because that’s where I believe true healing and real change happens.

My Career

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Certified Hypnotherapist, and my approach is warm, intuitive, and collaborative. I draw on somatic therapy, parts work, EMDR, Compassionate Inquiry, and hypnotherapy to support you in coming home to yourself.

Most of all, I believe that healing happens in a safe, attuned connection—where you don’t have to perform, explain, or earn your right to be cared for. 

Where your nervous system can soften. 

Where you get to rewrite the story you’ve been living in… and remember that you were never broken to begin with.
