Our Team
You want real change. Not just coping skills or check-ins—but actual healing. Relief. Transformation. You’re tired of patterns that keep showing up in your relationships—whether you’re struggling to stay connected, set boundaries, or make sense of how your past shows up in the present. Maybe you’re navigating life with someone who’s intense, reactive, shut down, or maybe that someone is you. You’re trying your best, but it all still lives in your nervous system. You want support that’s attuned to your history, grounded in science, and fiercely committed to your growth, healing, and transformation. You don’t have to do this alone.

Many of my clients are carrying the weight of trauma—whether from early life experiences, relational wounds, or difficult life transitions. This can show up as feeling stuck in repeating patterns, disconnected from yourself or others, or overwhelmed by grief, shame, anxiety, or self-doubt. When life feels heavy for too long, it may be time to try a new path. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
I offer a trauma-informed, affirming space where you can explore your challenges with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

My clients often feel stuck in painful relationship cycles or disconnected from themselves and those they love. They may struggle with communication, intimacy/sex, grief, body image, or life transitions, and long to feel seen, valued, and understood. Many want healthier patterns, stronger bonds, and a more authentic connection with themselves and others. I provide a safe, affirming space to explore these challenges with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping clients move toward clarity, intimacy, and deeper fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

Many of my clients feel weighed down by anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or the challenges of living with chronic pain and illness. Others have felt disconnected in their relationships or uncertain of themselves, longing for peace, clarity, and more authentic connection. They want to feel at ease in their bodies, more resilient in daily life, and more confident in who they are. Together, we bring mindful, compassionate attention to your story—helping you regulate your nervous system, process painful memories, and rediscover your strengths. With curiosity and care, we create space for healing, resilience, joy, and lasting change.

You may be feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, unsure how to find the healing you’ve been longing for. Many of my clients, individuals and couples, are navigating anxiety, depression, complex or developmental trauma, relationship struggles, or major life transitions that have left them feeling unsteady. They often feel stuck in painful patterns they don’t fully understand, longing for greater self-compassion, connection, and hope. Together, we work to untangle these patterns, deepen understanding, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change that feels more aligned, connected, and hopeful.

If you're having a hard time with any relationships in your life, whether intimate, familial, child-parent, non-monogamous, or friends, you're in the right spot. I can help you interrupt established patterns that affect your well-being, and we can work towards healthier relationships, prioritizing your strengths, values, and goals. I believe that people are inherently relational and shaped by the systems and relationships around them. I look beyond diagnoses and labels and consider the whole person, their identities, experiences, beliefs, cultures, communities, relationships, and values, and how it affects them as an individual.

Religious trauma. Anxiety that won't quit. Gender identity. Communication. The feeling that you don't quite fit in. If any of that resonates, you're in the right place. I work with people navigating identity, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and the kind of life transitions that leave you wondering who you even are anymore. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming care, including dedicated training through the Transcendence Project in transgender and nonbinary affirmation. Over 5 years' experience in crisis intervention in psychiatric settings, behavioral support for autistic youth, & EMDR makes me comfortable sitting with hard things.

My clients are often teens or adults who are anxious or skeptical to begin therapy but ready and driven to make a change. I work with clients who feel like they are stuck in a cycle of behaving in ways that just do not feel right anymore. Sometimes my clients understand the root cause of the behavior, know what is needing change and (like all of us) struggle with breaking these patterns. Our minds and bodies are usually trying their hardest to protect us, but sometimes in doing so they are blocking us from being our ideal selves.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than two decades in neuroscience research, and that background shapes everything I do. I understand, at a cellular level, that the brain can change. That healing isn't just possible; it's how we're wired.
I work with adults, teens, couples, and parents navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and questions of identity and belonging. Many of my clients arrive carrying more than they can name: patterns that repeat, pain that lingers, a sense that something needs to shift but they're not sure where to start. You don't have to have it figured out to begin.

Maybe you feel stuck — like you're carrying something heavy but can't quite name it. Maybe anxiety or depression has made it hard to show up the way you want to. Maybe the world feels like a lot right now, and you're not sure where to start.
I work with individuals navigating exactly that. My background in anthropology taught me that our culture shapes our story — and our story shapes who we are. I want to hear yours and arm you with tools that bring transformation and healing.

I've spent most of my life learning to translate between two worlds—and that's exactly what I help my clients do. I work with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults navigating life with autism, ADHD, or OCD. Many come in feeling like they've been misread their whole lives—too much, too sensitive, too scattered, too something. What I know from the inside out is that the problem was never you. It was the mismatch between who you are and a world that wasn't designed with you in mind. With over 10 years of community-based experience—including 5 years dedicated specifically to neurodivergent youth, I bring real clinical depth.

My ideal clients are often people who have spent their lives holding it all together. They were the sensitive kid, the responsible one, the high achiever, the perfectionist. They feel deeply and have pushed through anxiety, stress, and overwhelm for years.
Many come to therapy after hitting a wall. The strategies that once helped them succeed are no longer working. I use a compassionate, somatic, and trauma-informed approach, including Brainspotting, to help clients process anxiety and trauma, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we create a path toward lasting change and greater ease.

You're taking the first step. Looking through profiles, wondering who might feel like the right fit. Maybe you're feeling stuck in familiar patterns, navigating a life transition, struggling in your relationships, or carrying parts of yourself that feel difficult to understand or accept.
I work with adults who are seeking greater self-understanding, healing, and connection. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, or the impacts of family and relational experiences.
