I am deeply committed to the transformative power of therapy - it’s the cornerstone of what I do and, honestly, my favorite kind of magic. With nearly two decades of experience in social work and forensic roles, I create a supportive, welcoming space where healing, connection, and growth can thrive. Whether it's tackling trauma, navigating family dynamics, or decoding life’s chaos - I’m here to help children, teens, adults, couples, and families find their way forward with compassion and a personalized approach.
My approach blends empathy and trauma-informed care with science-backed techniques like Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting. Together, we’ll address past pain, improve communication, and strengthen your most meaningful relationships. In a safe space, I’ll help you uncover your strengths and develop new insights - plus, maybe a few “aha!” moments.
I get it - reaching out for support can feel like a leap into the unknown (or like trying to fold a fitted sheet). But I’m with you and we will walk this journey in tandem, every step of the way. Together, we’ll build resilience, nurture healthier connections, and create a brighter future.
