My approach is body-centered with a focus on the nervous system, in utero and birth experience, symptoms that show up in relationship patterns, chronic pain, negative self beliefs, confusing and unexplainable behavior or thought.
I am a fellow traveler on the path of healing. My own healing process informs my work as therapist as much as my different trainings have taught me. We cannot escape our past, but can use its teachings to open up our present and future. There is a wise person and healer within the limits our trauma has imposed upon us. Finding that inner resource is my vision for anyone choosing to work with me.

My ideal client feels emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of direction. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, and often fear that something is “wrong” with them. They are tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or repeating painful patterns and want more than quick fixes. Their goal is to feel grounded, confident, emotionally secure, and able to respond to life with clarity rather than old wounds.

Anxiety and depression gives us bad stories that we tell ourselves over and over again; in therapy, we will work together to rewrite those stories, weaving a new narrative with better truths that encourage your growth. I want to help you find the connections in your story to answer the questions about yourself that have been making it difficult to move forward on your own path. Working to untangle our pasts and how they inform our present can be intimidating but it allows us to navigate a better course for our future.
