Heal Deeply & Live Fully: Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, Identity, and Navigating Stress

Trauma can affect anyone—children, teens, and adults—and often shows up in ways that are confusing, overwhelming, or hard to talk about. It can impact your views of self, behaviors, thoughts, and create patterns in your life. You (or your child) may be struggling with intense emotions, triggers, insecurity, difficult behaviors, or a constant sense of being on edge amongst many other things. Whether the trauma was recent or happened long ago, therapy offers a space to process, feel supported, and begin to heal.

I work with people of all ages navigating:

• Childhood trauma and neglect

• Emotional, physical, and sexual abuse

• Sudden or severe trauma

• Complex or long-term trauma

• Relational trauma

• Domestic violence, war, accidents, human trafficking, murder, violence, and interpersonal violence

Using EMDR, parts work, nervous system regulation, and expressive arts, I help clients work through what’s been hidden or too overwhelming to face—so they can move toward lasting change, deeper safety, and more connection with themselves and others.

From the outside, you’ve done everything “right”—the career, the drive, the responsibilities. But internally, it might feel like you’re running on empty, constantly striving, and never quite arriving. You may feel pressure to hold it all together, even while dealing with stress, self-doubt, or hidden emotional wounds.

I work with high-achieving individuals who are:

• Struggling with burnout, perfectionism, or imposter feelings

• Over-functioning to avoid deeper emotional pain

• Feeling disconnected from their emotions, themselves or their relationships

• Facing quiet anxiety, identity questions, or unresolved childhood experiences

• Longing for meaning beyond achievement and productivity

• Managing the demands of high-stress, high-responsibility roles

Therapy offers a space to slow down and reconnect—with yourself, your values, and the parts of you that often get lost in the pressure to perform. Together, we’ll work toward more balance, clarity, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

You might feel like you’re both too much and never enough—constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and carrying the weight of other people’s emotions. Whether you’re an overachiever, perfectionist, people-pleaser, or just someone trying to hold it all together, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.

I help children, adults, and young adults work through the following:

• Anxiety, overthinking, and chronic self-doubt

• Struggles with identity, direction, and self-worth

• A harsh inner critic and negative self-talk

• People-pleasing and fear of abandonment

• Codependency

• Feeling responsible for others’ feelings

• The pressure to succeed while feeling emotionally overwhelmed

I also work closely with men exploring identity, emotional expression, and the quiet struggle of being seen and known beyond what they do or achieve.

Through trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, parts work, and nervous system regulation, we’ll explore what’s underneath the surface—so you can untangle old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more confidence, clarity, and self-trust.

Children often express what they’re feeling through behavior—not words. Big emotions, behaviors, meltdowns, or shutdowns can be signs of something deeper: stress, grief, trauma, or unmet needs. Therapy creates a safe space where your child can feel seen, heard, and supported in ways that make sense to them.

I specialize in working with children who are:

• Coping with trauma, loss, or major life changes

• Living apart from their biological parents

• In foster care, adopted, or in kinship care

• Showing challenging behaviors or emotional outbursts

• Navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, or identity questions

I also support parents and caregivers who feel triggered, overwhelmed, or unsure how to help. Using play therapy, sandtray, expressive arts, and nervous system-informed approaches, I help children and families work through the root of what’s going on—so healing can happen from the inside out.
