It takes courage to begin again, and that doesn’t go unnoticed. In our work together, we’ll create a space where your healing can unfold softly, creatively, and in your own way. Honoring each step of the way, this process is interactive and thoughtful, grounded in somatic and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches. I show up with warmth, genuineness, and an attuned presence—paying close attention to what’s said and unsaid—so that the space feels steady, supportive, and safe enough for you to be fully yourself.
I’m drawn to working with adolescents, families, and couples, as well as those navigating suicidal thoughts and self-harm, perfectionism, grief, or the lasting impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
Growth and healing take root in relationships—especially the one we build together. I value authenticity and intentionally foster a connection that centers your story, your values, and the experiences that have shaped you, moving at a pace that feels right for you as we work toward meaningful, lasting change together.
