I work with both teens and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. My work focuses on developmental trauma—those early experiences that shape how safe, seen, and connected we feel in the world. I draw from advanced training and certifications in Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and expressive arts therapy to support both the mind and body. My approach helps clients feel more grounded, soften self-criticism, and reconnect with a deeper sense of compassion and wholeness.
I am also certified in Neuroaffective Touch — a psychobiological therapy model that bridges the gap between talk therapy and bodywork.
NA- Touch is a polyvagal-informed approach that uses attuned touch to gently access developmental, emotional, and relational trauma held below the reach of words.
For teens, I focus on issues such as anxiety, bullying, breakups, self-esteem, ADHD, and the complex emotions that accompany adolescence. I have worked with teens for 15 years and enjoy offering a supportive space where they can discover their inner resilience, values, self-compassion, and navigate life’s challenges within empathetic setting.
