My clients are individuals, couples, and families, of all ages and backgrounds seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, simple- and complex- PTSD, struggling identities, chronic stress, family wounds, and parental conflicts; I offer a safe space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I can provide Child & Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), working with ages 0-5. I utilize somatics, play therapy, sand tray, nature therapy, and other evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions. I also offer psychological assessments/testing. I will help you feel safe by providing a relaxed, comforting environment.
When I'm not in the office, I am out kayaking, camping, and hiking, often found outside somewhere in nature exploring with my family. If I am not seeking healing outside, I am exploring movement through yoga. I find my own self-care helps me make you my priority! I welcome your presence, and I look forward to being with you on your journey!

During our initial sessions, we will explore your strengths and the issues at hand, and we will collaborate to create a plan that works for you, using your strengths to address those issues in a way that helps you get your life back. These are lifelong lessons that you can take with you, when you no longer need me! Most clients report a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few months.

I use a lot of education and somatics in my dynamic practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you in and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms are connected. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to safely explore and release tension and emotions to provide lifelong change for the better.
