Seasoned trauma therapist and heart-centered human offering mind-body focused therapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I specialize in healing complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounding, dissociation, and relational difficulties. My clients often come to me living in a state of fight or flight, experiencing overwhelming anxiety or a sense of stuckness that results in shame or unrelenting self-criticism. Often, they feel disconnected, trapped in a cycle of wanting to create change but feeling unable to make that happen. If this resonates with you, I've got you. I am confident I can guide you towards your emotional healing.
I offer a therapy approach that combines evidence-based modalities with relational connection. My extensive (and ever-evolving) training is primarily influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS). My vibe is gentle, down-to-earth, and attuned. I believe there is more to therapeutic work than talk, and I will guide you through the process of inner connection.
I will help you slow down, breathe, and safely be with whatever is present for you. When we learn to truly listen, our bodies and minds can provide the answers we seek. In our sessions, I’ll help you uncover these hidden messages so you can fully embrace the change you desire. For more information, please visit my website (link below).

Body centered therapy differs from more traditional talk therapy approaches as we will focus more on how to safely go inward and use your own body and your own inner wisdom to find true, lasting healing. You can expect to feel safe, supported, and in control of this entire process.

My approach to therapy focuses on getting to the root of what is happening for you so that we can find meaningful and lasting healing. It is less about simply coping and getting by and more about going inside, moving towards the tough stuff, and accessing your own inner healing. I have extensive training on how to guide you through this process in a safe and gentle manner.
