LPC-S
Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor — Anxiety & Trauma Specialist
I specialize in the body-mind connection of anxiety. After 9 years of working with clients who experience panic attacks, chronic stress, and trauma responses, I've learned that anxiety isn't just in your head — it shows up in your muscles, your gut, your sleep, and your heartbeat. My approach integrates EMDR, somatic experiencing, and nervous system regulation to help people find calm that actually sticks.
