I help women who are overwhelmed with managing home, parenting, and/or work. Many of my clients have challenging relationships with their parents and want to stop the cycle of trauma in themselves, and for their children. I help by teaching you about how your brain and nervous system respond to overwhelm and give you the tools that work to get you unstuck, confident, and empowered. Healing from the past while coping with the present is hard. Don't do it alone. Schedule a free consultation call with me today!
As a trauma therapist, I understand the impact of your past on your today AND what to do about it. My clients share that I'm the "best therapist I've ever had." I see your goodness and I'm here to laugh with you, hold caring space for you, and co-create your transformation with you. I can't wait to meet you!
Want to talk more about how I can help you feel better and reach your goals? Click the link to shoot me an email or give me a call at (443) 412-8951 to take the next step on your healing journey. I look forward to connecting with you! :-)

In session, I trust that your feelings and behaviors make sense in light of your lived experience. I am not really focused on a diagnosis, so much as what happened and what your nervous system is telling us is needed for healing. Then we focus on creating the opportunity for your mind and body to heal in the ways it knows how, but just needs a little facilitation. We've got this!
