My clients are individuals, couples, and families who are ready for meaningful change. Many are high-achieving professionals who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn't changed. Some carry unresolved trauma or live with a chronically dysregulated nervous system. Others are navigating major life transitions, relationship challenges, career decisions, or family conflict. They aren't looking for quick fixes—they're seeking deeper healing, stronger connection, and lasting transformation.
I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families using somatic therapy, IFS, EFT, and Gottman Method. For those ready to go deeper, I am certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals and couples through the University of Vermont — a powerful complement to ongoing therapeutic work.
If any of this resonates, you don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Most people aren't sure what they need — you may just know something has to change. That's enough to start.

Even strong, successful couples can find themselves feeling distant from one another. Between busy careers, family responsibilities, life transitions, betrayals, or ongoing stress, it can become easy to lose the sense of closeness that once felt natural. Sometimes therapy is about strengthening connection and feeling more understood by one another; other times, it is about finding a path forward a

I am an eclectic therapist — often real change requires meeting you where you are, not following a formulaic program. I draw from Somatic Experiencing, IFS (parts work), EFT, attachment-based therapy, and more - always tailored to you. I am a Certified ADHD Clinical Provider and Hypnotherapist. Uniquely, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
