Life can pull us in many directions—away from our bodies, our purpose, our relationships, and the deeper knowing that lives quietly within us. My approach to therapy supports you in returning to yourself: gathering the parts that may have been scattered by trauma, stress, or survival, and gently weaving them back into a felt sense of wholeness. Whether you're moving through anxiety, identity shifts, emotional disconnection, or a deep longing to feel more fully alive, this work invites you back into relationship with your truth, your body, your story, and the wisdom that has always been yours.

We have a lot in common. As human beings, we are innately creative, generous, and resilient. But life offers itself to us on its own terms. Change is inherent to our experience. We know this, but when we find ourselves at uncertain junctures – standing between what was and what is yet to be – we can still find ourselves caught in the noise, struggling to make sense of the world around us, and cut off from the embodied wisdom within us.

Cultivating joy, self-worth, and safety is a fundamental right for all people. Life’s journey is full of challenges, by strengthening our agency, tapping into both internal and external resources, we can create a thriving, fulfilling life. My approach to working with you is rooted in neuroscience and play, blending a feminist, client-centered, trauma-informed perspective with experiential/somatic practices. I also believe a well-placed f-bomb can be extremely therapeutic. Our bodies hold the stories of our past experiences, within those stories lies profound wisdom. Together, we’ll explore that source of strength and knowledge.

Hi, I’m someone who finds joy in creativity, compassion, and connection—with people, animals, and the natural world.
Art has always been a deep passion of mine; whether I’m painting, drawing, or exploring new mediums, it’s how I express what words sometimes can’t. That led me to art therapy.
I’m also someone who thrives on helping others. I believe small acts of kindness can create big ripples. My love for animals runs just as deep.
When I’m not creating or helping, you’ll most likely find me outdoors. Nature is my happy place—whether I’m hiking, camping, gardening, or just watching the sunset, it recharges and inspires me.
