One where you feel your innate wisdom, compassion, and capacity, to live life more fully despite all of its complexities.

I use Trauma-Focused CBT and EMDR to process traumatic memories, Somatic Therapy to help reconnect with the body, Attachment-Based and Psychodynamic approaches to explore relational patterns, Narrative and Person-Centered Therapy to help you reclaim your story, and Solution-Focused techniques to support present-day goals.
You may have learned to survive by appearing strong, stoic, and unshaken in the face of pain, trauma, injustice, and exhaustion. You may also be the one caring for everyone else in a world that has been historically unkind in return. I offer a supportive, empowering space where you can lay down those burdens and show up as your full, authentic self outside of being a caretaker, professional, or both. I am committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care that honors your lived experience as you move toward a life rooted in healing and wellness.

Together, we can gently unpack the past to make sense of and be with the present. We can also tap into our bodily experiences to better understand ourselves and others in creative ways.

Bodies are wonderful…and complicated. Perhaps you’re having trouble feeling aroused when you want, or maybe pain interrupts sexy time. Or it could be that something from your past or future keeps distracting you when you want to be truly present. Whatever is troubling you, we’ll explore it with fresh eyes and work together to move forward. My approach is centered on somatic and experiential techniques, where we strengthen the mind-body connection and process emotions. We’ll also pay attention to the here-and-now experience of the therapeutic relationship, using it to examine communication patterns and tweak them to better serve you.

I specialize in patterns of high achievement/performance, perfectionism, people pleasing, pursuing/anxious attachment, and working with those who long for something more real: deeper, more connected and reciprocal relationships, emotional calm, a life that fits, and a way of being that doesn’t require so much effort to maintain. You know how to hold it all together. You show up, take care of others, work hard, and keep moving even when something inside is hurting. Externally, it's going well, but internally, you feel stuck in patterns that drain you, unseen, weighed down by pain, burned out, longing for more, or never enough.
