Feeling off or disconnected? Whether you're navigating the grief of miscarriage, post-partum hasn't been as glamorous as you've heard, returning from deployment, healing from trauma, substance use, or sensing a deeper shift, therapy can help explore your story with curiosity and compassion. Through a trauma-informed approach, we’ll work together to restore connection, safety, and trust, with yourself or your partner. Your healing starts with a space where your experience matters. Whether you prefer a narrative approach to care or body-based trauma work - I have training and skills to support your healing process.
I offer a supportive, grounded space to help you process grief, trauma, and life transitions as well as the coping skills that are no longer helping like substance use, avoidance patterns, self-harm, or perfectionism. When using Somatic work, I guide you in tuning into your body's cues to gently release stored stress and rebuild a sense of safety.
You are not alone. One of the vicious lies of pain is loneliness, particularly when the wounds of the past came out of relationships with those we cared about. Just as pain came through relationship, so can healing. My approach is compassionate and personalized, helping you process pain, build resilience, and feel more like yourself again.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, but not everyone is ready to give voice to the experiences that have impacted how they live and move in the world. I am in the process of certification in Somatic Experiencing, which allows the body to do incredible work without the burden of story. One of my strengths is adapting to the needs and interests of the client to create a space to heal.
