I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking to address the impacts of trauma, explore their identities, practice vulnerability, and improve the quality of their relationships—with themselves, their loved ones, their work, and their sense of purpose. I strive to help my clients feel held and cared for while also feeling empowered to make meaningful changes that foster greater honesty, authenticity, and fulfillment. Drawing on my interdisciplinary background in psychology, public health, and yoga, I take a creative approach to exploring the root causes of challenges and beliefs that keep you feeling stuck.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, the impacts of trauma, or relationship challenges, my goal is to help you develop more awareness, emotional resilience, acceptance, and compassion. When appropriate, I integrate holistic and mindfulness-based practices, including working with the body and breath as resources for regulation and insight.
If you're curious about seeing if we are a good fit or you have decided that you're ready to begin your therapy journey, I invite you to reach out to book your first appointment with me. I'm looking forward to understanding your story and getting to know you!
