I believe you deserve a warm, safe, and truly authentic space to explore your inner world and find balance. Life throws heavy things our way—anxiety, deep sadness, or old traumas—and navigating big transitions or figuring out who you are can feel incredibly lonely. Let’s walk this path together. As a depth psychotherapist, we will explore the psyche by looking gently beneath the surface, using dreamwork and exploring your unconscious, to help you heal and feel whole again. Along the way, we will also build practical, grounding tools you can always lean on as your own inner resource.
Based on your unique needs, I integrate a variety of specialized, evidence-based, and holistic techniques into our sessions. By weaving in EMDR and IFS, we can process trauma and heal wounded parts. I also use a trauma-informed lens, integrating movement, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and the expressive arts to gain insight.
I am especially interested in supporting women through life transitions like pregnancy and menopause, working with teens, and helping artists and creatives thrive. I also offer an affirming space for LGBTQIA+. If this feels like a good fit for you, reach out so we can work together to foster the balance, healing, and deep self-knowledge you deserve.
