Are you navigating a season of change — a move, retirement, caregiving for a loved one, or the deep pain of grief and loss? Life events can stir up anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty, and it may be affecting your relationships. I believe everyone has a story, and my therapeutic approach is about holding space for your story — creating a safe place where your experiences are honored and explored with compassion, so you can walk with greater clarity, kindness, and compassion for your journey.

As a Neuroscience Informed Clinician trained in trauma-sensitive and somatic practices, I help you manage stress, recover from trauma, and navigate significant life changes. I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples who are facing significant struggles, offering support, perspective, and tools for resilience.

Together we will reflect on your personal history. We will identify patterns, and discover meaning in the stories that have shaped you. I believe healing begins when your stories are honored and reframed with hope.
