I have specialized in women’s emotional wellness over the course of 12 years of clinical practice. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C). I believe that the most powerful healing occurs within the context of safe relationships. When we feel seen, understood and connected, we are able to work through some of the most difficult situations. With this in mind, I strive to create a therapeutic space that is nurturing, relational and accessible. I am best known for my strong intuition, my deep empathy and ability to make others feel known.

My approach values a balance of deep healing work and practical tools for here-and-now change. I integrate attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed therapies, emotionally focused therapy, relational/interpersonal therapy and EMDR. My priority is to get to know your unique story, challenges and goals so that I can tailor our sessions to suit your needs.

My hope is that through our work, you will understand how your past has shaped your present, heal from underlying wounds and break free from patterns that rob you of your joy, peace and purpose. This process will will allow you to become more connected to yourself and others, more confident in navigating life challenges and more grounded in who you are.
