Welcome—I’m an EMDR Certified Therapist passionate about supporting women in finding steadiness through their own inner wisdom.
​
I work with women navigating anxiety, trauma, and/or life with a neurodivergent brain in a world that can feel overwhelming. You might relate to one of these experiences, or several — regardless, you don’t have to do it alone.
​
Together, we’ll explore how your mind and body have learned to protect you and gently guide your nervous system towards a greater capacity to hold and support all parts of you, even those you may have once tucked away. Therapy with me isn’t about forcing change; it’s about creating space and safety to listen — to your body, your emotions, and the parts of you that have been carrying so much.
​
Using EMDR, somatic interventions, and parts work, we’ll help you release what’s no longer serving you, reconnect with your authentic self, and build self-trust, deepening your sense of grounded ease. Healing doesn’t mean anxiety disappears — it means your nervous system can find calm, again and again, even when life feels stressful or unpredictable.
​
If you’re longing for a place to breathe, feel seen, and finally settle into yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Insurance vs. Private Pay
When using insurance, a mental health diagnosis is required, and care must meet criteria for “medical necessity” in order to be covered. Because of this, documentation needs to include certain clinical details that support the medical necessity of care, and insurance companies may request limited information to help confirm coverage and eligibility.
If you choose to pay privately, you have more flexibility and greater control over how your information is shared, since there is no third party involved in covering care and you do not need to meet criteria for “medical necessity.”
I also want to acknowledge that therapy is an investment, and I deeply respect the decision to use insurance to help make care more accessible, especially when symptoms are impacting your overall wellbeing. No matter how you choose to pay, I am committed to protecting your privacy and creating a safe, supportive space for you.

I am currently in-network with:
Aetna

​
I am in-network with most Aetna, Cigna, and Optum/UnitedHealthcare plans, but not all. I always encourage you to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage.
​
Initial Free Consultations
​I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation as a first step. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and see if working together feels right for you. During our conversation, I’ll listen to your goals and concerns, share a little about how I work, and answer any questions you have about therapy or my practice.
​
If it feels like a good fit, we can get you scheduled for the intake session to begin this journey together.
Therapeutic Approach
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a gentle yet powerful therapy that helps the brain and body process past experiences — and even imagined future ones — in a way that restores balance and resilience. While it’s best known for treating PTSD, EMDR can also support healing in many other areas, from easing anxiety and calming the nervous system to shifting unhelpful patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism. EMDR helps you feel more grounded, confident, and able to respond to life with clarity and ease, rather than getting pulled into old patterns of stress or overwhelm.
Parts Work & Ego State Therapy
Parts work and Ego State Therapy helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself —like the part that worries, the part that criticizes, or the part that pushes you to do more. By getting to know these parts with curiosity and compassion, you can reduce inner conflict, feel more grounded, and respond to life from a place of balance instead of being overwhelmed by pressure or self-judgment.
Somatic & Nervous System Awareness
Somatic and Nervous system awareness helps you tune into the physical sensations in your body —like tension, restlessness, or tightness. By noticing and gently working with these sensations, you can calm your nervous system, break cycles of overdoing or overthinking, and respond to life with more ease, balance, and self-compassion.
Skills Coaching & Psychoeducation
Skills coaching and psychoeducation offers practical tools and guidance to help you navigate feelings that can feel overwhelming or distressing. By learning skills/strategies; you gain more choices in how you respond—helping you feel grounded, capable, and more in control of your life.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be especially helpful for building a more fulfilling life. Instead of focusing on “getting rid of” difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches you how to make space for them without letting them control your choices. By learning to stay present, practice acceptance, and take actions guided by your values, you can create a life that feels more meaningful—even with the ups and downs that come with being human.
When therapy is approached holistically — it’s flexible and deeply integrative to support safety, self-understanding, and lasting change.
