I support children, adults, and couples through life transitions, loss, relationship challenges, and times of overwhelm, anxiety, or emotional distress. My approach honors the complexity of being human and the emotional and relational vulnerabilities that arise throughout a person’s life. Many people come to therapy when what has worked before no longer does. Therapy is a space to slow down and begin to understand the patterns, protective strategies, and histories that have shaped how you experience yourself and relate to others, creating meaningful opportunities for growth and change in yourself and your relationships.
My approach is relational and trauma-informed. I draw from depth-oriented, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support experiences that can be difficult to access through words alone. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in a safe and attuned relationship where you can explore what arises with steadiness and support.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to explore whether working together feels like a good fit. To begin, please email or visit Spark Center's website to complete the consultation form. A therapist will then follow up to schedule your complimentary consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.
