Already handling too much, feeling the weight of the world, and suddenly life throws you even more? Sometimes this overwhelm is in the context of a big life transition, other times the smallest change can be the straw that broke the camels back. In a world that feels particularly overwhelming right now, I offer a space to help you slow down, process, and find your footing again. Instead of avoiding feelings, looking for distraction, or overthinking, we can pause and re-orient to a life that feels sustainable and aligned with your values. With time I know you will begin to feel more joy again.
My approach is trauma-informed, holistic and depth-oriented. I show up with warmth and am interactive in session. I use a variety of modalities depending on what is present- including cognitive tools for difficult thoughts as well as somatic experiencing and meditation to integrate difficult emotions with calm and clarity. We heal on many levels.
Difficult moments in life are also the greatest opportunity for healing and growth. I look forward to helping you feel better. Lets connect! I have additional expertise in working with Veterans, people living with serious illness, those who are approaching end-of-life and their caregivers, as well as new parents.

I use a variety of treatment modalities depending on what is present for each client. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help you feel less defined by your thoughts and worries, psychodynamic therapy to shine light on old patterns from childhood that you may have outgrown and mindfulness, somatic and self-compassion techniques to help you feel your emotions in your body.
