I support people navigating the often overwhelming and lonely experience of healing from c-PTSD, or complex relational trauma. Early trauma, whether from unmet needs or overt abuse, can warp our sense of self and imprison us in frozen fear, shame, or reactivity, impacting every aspect of our lives. Therapy can help us find more freedom and connection – to all the lost and disowned parts of our psyches; to our amazingly resilient bodies, fiercely compassionate hearts and creative spirits; to other beings, community, and nature; to the present moment; to meaning and purpose; and to a felt sense of safety, agency, and possibility.
I'm a client-centered therapist informed by a number of modalities including somatics & mindfulness, IFS/parts work, depth psychology, dance & expressive arts, trauma & liberation, attachment & interpersonal neurobiology, and brainspotting. I'm passionate about this work and approach it with reverence, curiosity, fierce compassion, and gentle persistence.
My view is that life’s challenges and triumphs are too painful and too beautiful to bear alone. If you're looking for support moving through trauma/c-PTSD, grief & loss, life transitions, shame, anxiety, depression, dissociation, or relationship challenges, or just feel drawn to working with me, don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to hear from you!

Many of the clients I work with grew up in invalidating environments which created imprints and patterns that have followed them to adulthood, impacting their sense of self, their relationships, and their health. I work collaboratively and relationally with each client, helping them to build awareness, inner safety, self compassion, integration, and ultimately, more freedom, agency and vitality.

I work eclectically, but often use parts work as a scaffolding for mindfulness & inner change. Connecting with Self helps us to relate to & unburden the different parts of us that are in conflict, cut off from awareness, or running the show in ways that don't serve us anymore. I integrate trauma-informed somatic techniques and nervous system regulation.
