People often come to therapy when something feels hard to name, overwhelming, or stuck. I offer a supportive place to explore emotions, relationship challenges, and past experiences, with a focus on healing and building a greater sense of safety within yourself and your relationships. You might feel anxious without knowing why, struggle with decisions, or feel unheard by your partner. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship stress, loss, and life transitions. My clinical interests include inner child work, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, feeling detached or dissociated, and trauma.
I blend body-based therapies with warmth and curiosity, along with an understanding that mental health symptoms can guide us towards what we truly need. I am committed to being your thought partner in getting to the bottom of your feelings: whether it's trusting yourself, addressing patterns, building healthy relationships, or moving out of survival mode.
I invite you to honor and choose yourself, in mind and body. You are allowed dedicated time, space, curiosity and therapeutic partnership in working with me. Trust that you deserve and are ready to explore and transform, with help and support along the way. This therapy is for when you’re done surviving and ready to actually live.

I use a blend of experiential and bottom-up modalities of healing. This means that instead of simply traditional talk therapy where you might use insight and analysis, I focus on using the wisdom of your felt sense. This style of therapy allow us to go right to the root of the issues, and resolve them there.
