Something feels off—anxiety that lingers, relationships under strain, grief that sits heavy, or a deep sense of being stuck. You don’t have to name it perfectly to begin. In therapy, we attend closely to your moment-to-moment experience—your words, your body, and the feelings beneath—while tracing deeper patterns, formative experiences, and unconscious protective strategies shaping your relationships and inner life. This is a space where insight becomes felt and embodied, expanding your capacity for lasting change, freedom, and authentic wholeness.
I blend psychodynamic and relational psychoanalytic therapy with trauma-informed, neurobiological, and attachment-based approaches. In a steady, attuned space, we explore your inner world so understanding becomes integrated—opening possibilities for change that endures and a fuller sense of vitality.
Therapy is deeply personal, and finding the right fit matters. I offer sessions in person, online, or on walking trails. If what you’ve read resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so we can explore together whether my practice might be the right place for your next steps. I look forward to connecting with you!

Groups
Adult Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
In this Christian-based support group, we create a safe and welcoming space for adult women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. Together, we will uncover the hidden wounds of trauma, understand its ongoing impact, and discover a path to healing through open dialogue, faith, and mutual support. This is an on-going open ended process group for women who have previously completed individual trauma therapy and/or are currently working individually with a therapist. A pre-group screening appointment is necessary for all referrals. The evening group meets bi-weekly for 1 hour 15 minutes.
