I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space for children, teens, adults, couples, and families of all kinds. I support clients who are navigating trauma, ADHD, ASD, PDA, sensory sensitivities, parenting challenges, adoption (including adoptee, first family, kinship and adoptive families), identity development, emotional regulation, life transitions, grief, and/or systemic harm. I also work with children, teens, and caregivers adjusting to new or layered responsibilities, as well as couples and families seeking to improve communication, emotional safety, and connection.
My therapeutic style is integrative and collaborative, drawing from a range of evidence-based and body-centered modalities, including CBT, DBT, Brainspotting, polyvagal and somatic practices. I work from a relational and client-centered lens, helping clients tune into the wisdom of their bodies, deepen emotional insight, and support healing.
I am LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and non-traditional relationship affirming. I welcome individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds and configurations. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking support, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are. I would be honored to support your journey.
