Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW

Healing is not about fixing what is wrong...it is about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that learned to survive by disconnecting, pleasing others, or going quiet. I work with individuals who are ready to come back into themselves. People who feel deeply, who have spent years prioritizing others, masking their truth, or abandoning their own needs in order to feel safe, loved, or accepted.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 30 years of experience, I offer a grounded, compassionate, and trauma-informed therapeutic space where healing happens through presence, attunement, and practical tools, not pressure or performance.

My work is rooted in the understanding that trauma lives not only in the mind, but in the nervous system and the body. True healing requires more than insight alone.

I integrate:

   •   EMDR to support trauma resolution and nervous system regulation

   •   Psychodynamic therapy to explore relational patterns, attachment, and unconscious material

   •   Somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with their bodies and internal cues

   •   Insight-oriented talk therapy to build clarity, self-trust, and meaning

Together, we work to identify and transform patterns such as people-pleasing, self-abandonment, emotional masking, and difficulty with boundaries. Therapy is supportive, honest, and compassionate, while also inviting accountability for your growth and truth.

   •   PTSD and complex trauma

   •   Sexual, physical, and emotional abuse

   •   Grief and loss, including relational loss, identity shifts, and life transitions.

   •   Anxiety and depression

   •   Relationship and attachment challenges

   •   Nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress

   •   Self-worth, boundaries, and patterns of people-pleasing and/or self-abandonment.

   •   Spiritual awakenings and the integration of spiritual or psychedelic experiences within a therapeutic framework.

My role is not to direct your healing, but to walk alongside you, helping you listen more deeply to yourself, reclaim agency, and build a more authentic relationship with your inner world.

 Clients often describe my approach as grounded, attuned, and deeply present. In our work together, there is space for what feels difficult, tender, or long-held, without pressure to perform or move faster than feels right. I bring compassion and honesty to the work, honoring what once helped you cope while supporting meaningful change toward greater embodiment, authenticity, and self-trust.

 If you are ready to stop abandoning yourself and begin living with greater self-trust, clarity, and authenticity, I’m here to support you. Healing does not mean becoming someone new. it means coming home to who you already are!
