Hi, I’m so glad you found your way here. I support individuals and couples navigating midlife, relationships, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, trauma, perimenopause and menopause, cancer, chronic illness, and the lasting impact of experiences carried alone for too long. I am an AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist, creating space to slow down where we listen and tend to what lives beneath the surface. I believe healing happens in relationship and that you already carry an innate capacity for healing and wholeness.
Together, we slow down and turn toward what you are feeling, creating 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 so you can live with greater authenticity, spaciousness, and sense of aliveness.
As you imagine giving yourself space to tend to what you’ve carried, what do you notice happening inside? What feelings or longings are here right now? Perhaps you’ve spent years being capable and there for everyone else while losing touch with yourself. What happens as you imagine reaching for something new , and allowing yourself to be met there?

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.
