My ideal client is someone longing for healing, relief, and a deeper sense of wholeness while navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout. Many are in tender or demanding life transitions—pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, career changes or the weight of medical and helping professions—and are seeking steadiness, meaning, and hope. With over 20 years of holistic work & 15 years of evidence-based psychotherapy, I offer a warm, grounded space to help you gently release old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, supported, and alive.
I can help you heal and grow through life’s challenges with a blend of science and spirit. I specialize in perinatal depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress, offering EMDR, somatics, IPT, MBCT, and attachment-focused therapy. With a PhD in social work, I also weave in reiki, tarot, and ancestral healing for a truly holistic approach.
Taking the first step can feel like a leap, but it’s also the beginning of transformation. You don’t have to walk this path alone—I’ll bring the strength of my clinical training and holistic wisdom to support you. If you’re ready to step into your healing and growth, I’ll be here to guide and empower you every step of the way.
