I specialize in trauma, working with neurodivergent people and family members, and through play therapy. I love working through EMDR, IFS, and from a relentlessly curious relational grounding. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and it is my honor to help guide clients to a place in their lives of feeling better about themselves, their choices, and their path forward.

I am passionate about psychodynamic, relational, and somatic lenses to heal past traumas and empower clients. Playful approaches, such as expressive arts, sand tray, and child-centered play therapy allow expression beyond words. EMDR and IFS are powerful modalities to understand our experiences. The therapeutic journey is an individualized path to uncover healing and resilient growth.
