The stories we tell ourselves shape how we see the world, how we love, and how we make sense of our pain. Many of us carry stories written in survival — built from anxiety, loss, or trauma — that quietly guide our choices and keep us from feeling whole.

My work isn't about fixing what's "broken." It's about helping you understand those patterns through the lens of your brain, body, and lived experience, so you can become grounded in your story rather than defined by it — and reclaim a sense of calm, meaning, and agency in your life.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with additional training and certifications in trauma treatment, addictions, and neuroscience-based therapy.
