Moving between cultures/countries and not always feeling fully at home is something I understand personally. That’s part of why I connect with TCKs, ATCKs, expats, military families, and others who have lived across different worlds. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in high-intensity environments where steadiness mattered. I’ve been a health specialist, firefighter/EMT, and single parent, and I’ve navigated divorce, addiction in families, suicide loss, and starting over more times than I can remember. That shapes how I show up; calm, direct, and steady. My work is trauma-informed and EMDR-trained. I integrate cognitive and somatic approaches when they fit, and often work with complex trauma, neurodivergence (including AuDHD), identity, and the quieter exhaustion that can come from years of adapting. I also work with diverse relationship structures and LGBTQIA+ clients, approaching that work with respect, nuance, and without assumptions. Therapy with me isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about understanding what you’ve been carrying, why it made sense at the time, and figuring out what you want to keep... and what you don’t... moving forward.
