You may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feel emotionally stuck, disconnected, or caught in the same relational patterns. Many people I work with have spent years reflecting, reading, or even in therapy, and still find themselves overwhelmed in relationships or unsure why certain dynamics feel so painful. Often, these patterns are rooted in early relational experiences that shaped how safety, closeness, and protection are held in the body. My work supports individuals and couples in gently understanding these patterns and creating meaningful, lasting change.
My work is grounded in attachment-based and trauma-informed therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic approaches, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga to support nervous system regulation and emotional awareness. With couples, I use Gottman-informed and attachment-focused methods to reduce reactivity, strengthen communication, and rebuild emotional and physical connection.
I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, understood, and safe. Whether you’re processing trauma, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking a more grounded connection with yourself, I will walk with you at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story.

I am compassionate about social justice, and respect for diversity. Since 2011, I've traveled though out many parts of the world to learn from various cultures. Along the way I've integrated yoga, women's circles rooted in ancestral wisdom, Zen meditation, silent retreats, and trauma-sensitive yoga into my personal and professional life. These experiences have shaped my approach to therapy.
