I work with people through many stages of change — from feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to get through the day, to those wanting to better manage challenges or enhance performance. Many are living with chronic stress, pain, injury, anxiety, depression, or neurological conditions looking for support in navigating these challenges and life transitions. As a former high-performance athlete living with chronic pain, I bring both clinical and personal insight into how physical health impacts mental health and identity.
I offer neuroscience-informed therapy that integrates CBT, ACT, EFT, and somatic work to support change on both a mental and physiological level. I specialize in the overlap of physical and emotional health, including stress-related conditions, chronic pain, and injury recovery. My approach is focused, direct, with humor and warmth.
It’s frustrating to feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still not getting better. I’ll help you make sense of what’s happening, resource you with education and tools, and support you in getting unstuck. I firmly believe change and good living can happen even when life doesn't look like it used to. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have.
