My work draws from relational therapy, ACT, psychodynamic principles, and parts work to help you understand yourself more deeply, navigate emotions, and create meaningful change.
Most of us don’t enter adulthood feeling whole. We carry wounds we barely recognize, and sometimes it’s the smallest moment that stirs a deep emotional response we can’t quite explain. If you’ve been feeling stuck, weighed down by the past, or overwhelmed by the many roles and relationships in your life, you’re not alone. You may be noticing a growing disconnection from yourself or others, or facing a major life transition without knowing where to begin.

I am passionate about empowering individuals on their unique healing journeys.

I recognize that trauma affects both the body and the mind, and I believe in taking a holistic approach to understand the root causes of your responses and reactions. I understand that substance use and other formally adaptive coping mechanisms often mask deeper issues, and I am here to work with you to explore and address these underlying issues.

My style is conversational and adaptive; I rely on narrative therapy, harm reduction principles, and acceptance and commitment therapy, in addition to other modalities.
We all need support and fresh perspectives; from our community and people who listen deeply. I can offer you a space to process your experiences, feelings, and struggles, the time to explore how you’re being impacted, and questions that open up new possibilities to live the life you most want for yourself and your loved ones. Guided by what you value most, we can clarify how you want to move forward.

EFT forms the foundation of my work while thoughtfully integrating evidence-based approaches including ACT, CBT, SFT, attachment-based, and somatic approaches.
Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, navigating challenges in your relationships, moving through a difficult season of life, or simply hoping to better understand yourself, you’ve already taken an important step by being here. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to explore and supported enough to grow. Together, we’ll create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can better understand yourself while gently exploring new ways of thinking, relating, and responding to life’s challenges.
