My website

Are you looking for a therapist who understands that healing goes beyond simply talking about your experiences? I combine clinical training with lived understanding to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported as you reconnect with yourself. Sometimes trauma isn’t recognized by a single moment or memory — it can show up in the everyday struggles we carry: restless nights, racing thoughts, feeling constantly on edge, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and the person you once were. These experiences are often your mind and body’s way of communicating that something needs care, support, and healing.

Our cozy office for in-person sessions, which comes with free parking

I specialize in supporting individuals impacted by trauma who may now experience this through anxiety, depression, relationship issues, disordered eating, and more. Through somatic therapy, we'll explore the deeper roots of your experiences, build a stronger connection with yourself and create meaningful change from the inside out.

Starting therapy can feel a little intimidating—and that’s completely okay. Come as you are: throw on your comfiest clothes, bring your favorite coffee, and we’ll start with a chat. We move at your pace as we explore and process your experiences together. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out for a consultation or to schedule your first appointment!
