I work with adults and teens—especially women, trans, and non-binary clients—navigating anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, burnout, life transitions, or religious/cultural trauma. Many are thoughtful, sensitive, creative, or spiritually curious, and come to therapy feeling disconnected from their bodies, their sense of direction, or a deeper sense of meaning. My approach honors both psychological depth and lived experience, helping clients move from feeling stuck or fragmented toward clarity, self-trust, and alignment. Together, we build a space where all parts of you are welcome, so you can feel more grounded and whole.
I offer relational, trauma-informed psychotherapy grounded in evidence-based practice and informed by somatic awareness and polyvagal theory—honoring the body as a source of wisdom, not just symptoms. My focus is building a collaborative, attuned relationship where you feel truly seen, supporting lasting change that integrates mind, body, and self.
You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you're carrying anxiety, exhaustion, or a sense that something needs to shift, therapy can be a space to deepen your knowing of yourself and cultivate a more loving and fulfilling relationship with your life and the world around you. If this resonates, I'd love to hear what's bringing you here.
