you matter. deeply.

Come home to the truth that…

A space for healing that weaves together trauma-informed therapy, holistic coaching, and EMDR to support the unraveling of survival patterns, reconnection with your inner knowing, and the remembering of who you are and who you’ve always been—whole, worthy, and already enough.

You matter. Not just in theory, but in practice. In how you move through your life. In how you treat yourself. In how you allow yourself to be seen and supported. The word matter comes from the Latin materia, meaning the substance of something. It is also rooted in mater, meaning mother. This work is a return. A return to the body, to your source, to the part of you that knows how to nurture and care for yourself with deep compassion.

Maybe you feel it. A quiet knowing that your current struggles are echoing something older. You might carry stress or anxiety that feels too big for the moment, or find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes the pain you are carrying is not just from the present, but from unmet needs, emotional neglect, or early attachment wounds.

 

And what if your symptoms are not the problem, but the portal? What if they are pointing you back to the parts of you still waiting to be met with love? This is where symptom relief meets soul-level repair. Together, we build safety, explore your story, and foster change that lasts.

 

This work is for those navigating anxiety, relationship distress, burnout, and the transition to parenthood, including perinatal mental health. It is not about fixing what is wrong. It is about reclaiming your wholeness.

You matter. And I am honored to walk with you as you return to that truth.

Ways we can work together:

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.

Healing is personal, and finding the right therapist makes all the difference. My approach is down-to-earth, relational, and grounded in trust, warmth, and collaboration. Through holistic mental health counseling, somatic therapy, EMDR, expressive arts, and perinatal mental health support, I help you reconnect with your body, your needs, and your inner truth.

Together, we explore not just what happened to you, but what did not happen for you. We get curious about the coping strategies that once helped you survive but may now be keeping you stuck. And we build new skills to support your nervous system, your relationships, and your whole self.

 

Therapy is not a quick fix. It is a return. To your values. Your voice. Your capacity for joy. And to a version of you who feels more whole, more honest, and more at home in your own life.
