If you’re reading this, you may be carrying more than you can manage alone. Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or perfectionism may leave you feeling stuck or disconnected. Your child may be struggling with big emotions or your relationship may feel distant and hard to repair. Therapy offers a chance to pause, feel supported, and begin to shift what isn’t working. Together, we’ll work toward healing, emotional safety, and building stronger connections so you can face life’s challenges with more strength and confidence. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
As a foundation, I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that attends to emotions, somatic experiences, and inner child work. With kids, I incorporate Play Therapy and expressive arts. I draw from other approaches as needed and also offer nature-informed therapy, including sitting outdoors or a walk/hike and talk when requested.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face things alone. Whether you, your child, or your family is struggling, I offer a warm and inclusive space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. Together we’ll work to foster resilience, healing, and lasting change. If you're ready, I’d be honored to walk with you.
