Creating a nurturing and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my practice. I believe that healing happens in the context of connection, and I strive to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is for every client to experience a profound sense of safety and belonging as we embark on a journey of healing and growth together—at your pace, and in alignment with your unique needs and values.
I primarily work from a somatic, attachment, and nervous system-informed perspective, focusing on the connection between body, mind, and emotional well-being. My areas of specialty include working with LGBTQ+ individuals, teens and preteens, and women’s issues, though I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am trained in EMDR and somatic modalities.
I value the unique strengths and challenges that come with each stage of life. Whether you're navigating big emotions, identity exploration, life transitions, or the lasting impact of trauma, I’m here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and care. I strive to create a space where clients of all ages feel seen, heard, and empowered.
