Do you feel disconnected from your body, other humans, and the earth? You’re not alone. Our work together is about rekindling that connection. My clients are artists, musicians, storytellers, gamers, professionals, movement practitioners, and everything in between. What they share is a longing to feel more at home in their bodies, more present with the people and world around them, and more fully seen.

However, a few client populations I specialize in are: women's issues across the lifespan, healthcare workers (therapists and social workers, medical providers, and nurses, etc), and clients living with chronic illness.

I have specialized training in working with individuals who experience life transitions, disability, and chronic pain.
I have worked in the mental health field for several years, supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, existential concerns, and other challenges. I specialize in working with individuals across the disability spectrum, including those managing psychological, cognitive, physical, and intellectual disabilities. Living with a spinal cord injury, I identify as a person with a disability, which allows me to build deeper, more empathetic connections with clients facing chronic conditions, limited resources, and barriers that affect autonomy or quality of life.

Why does this keep happening? Why can't I let this go? Why do I find myself in the same relationship over and over? Most of our personal challenges in life come from events in our early childhood or are passed down from trauma in our families. Theses things are challenging to heal or transform when we either don’t remember what they are or never knew to begin with. Even with events we do remember it can be hard to get to a place of transformation. That is why I work with modalities that get deep into the the unconscious so that change can take place on that deep level that is very challenging to get to with thinking and talking.

Welcome. You may be here because something in you knows that old ways of coping, relating, protecting, or pushing through are no longer working. Maybe you feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, or aware that there is a deeper, more honest way to live. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, listen beneath the surface, and begin to understand the patterns that shape your body, emotions, choices, and relationships.

We all deserve respect, care, and acceptance. I have a passion for helping people navigate the difficult transitions that can occur in life due to a change in health or other circumstances. I believe that we all do our best given the resources and situation provided, and that a change in perspective or new tool can make all the difference. Besides primarily using a cognitive behavioral therapy framework to address unconscious processes, I have broad experience incorporating existential, spiritual, and meaning based approaches in pursuing growth.
