Hi, I’m so glad you found your way here. I support individuals and couples who are doing their best while living with the complexities of relationships, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, perimenopause and menopause, cancer, chronic illness, and experiences that have been carried alone for too long. As an AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist, I create space to slow down, listen, and tend to what is happening beneath the surface.
Together, we turn toward what you are feeling, creating enough safety for emotions, protective patterns, and younger parts of yourself to be understood and deeply cared for. My hope is to help you reconnect with your body, relationships, and inner wisdom and, when desired, explore ancestral ways of healing that can support a deeper sense of aliveness.
If something here resonates with you, I invite you to visit my website, found on the right-hand side of this page, to learn more about my approach and style of therapy. I look forward to connecting with you.

I provide attachment-based, experiential therapy for individuals (teens to adults), couples and families. Sometimes transitions in life awaken anxiety, grief, and unresolved past trauma, all while managing family and life responsibilities. Together, we create space to process emotions, deepen connection to self and others, and move toward steadiness in your life and relationships.
