For 15 years, I have provided therapy to children, adults and families of varied backgrounds and experiences. I often work on addressing parent-child relationships, life transitions, emotional regulation, depression/anxiety and trauma where there has been abuse, violence and early childhood trauma. Play is the language of children and is an important part of working with kids and families. I value treatments that include cognitive-based skills and involve reflecting on the underlying meaning of behaviors which can help manage our responses. Whether utilizing play, art or talk, therapy can help us gain greater insight and growth.

I specialize in somatic experiencing for nervous system regulation and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.
My clients are individuals who want to live more wholeheartedly, regain a sense of safety and cultivate support.

Trauma has a way of making you question yourself, your emotions, and your relationships. If you feel stuck in self-doubt, overwhelmed by your feelings, or disconnected from those around you, you’re not alone. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding, reclaiming, and softening the patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen and supported, working through the deeper layers at a pace that feels right for you. You deserve care that meets you where you are, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.
