About

Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, hypervigilance, or shutting down. You find yourself replaying conversations, bracing for conflict, or going numb in relationships. Trauma and attachment wounds often surface as people pleasing, overexplaining, or checking out. You doubt your instincts and carry responsibility for everyone else's feelings. Many of my clients are sensitive, high achieving adults, often children of immigrants or women of color, who appear put together on the outside but feel lonely and depleted inside. You want to feel safe in your body, hold boundaries, and have relationships where you can be yourself. I help you understand why you react the way you do and rewire it. Through IFS parts work, EMDR-Flash, attachment focused therapy, and somatic and mindfulness tools, we address the nervous system roots of anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, and relationship patterns. You will develop regulation skills, shift old beliefs, and learn to respond rather than react.
