Hello, and welcome! If you are reading this, you are already taking the first step towards creating the life that you desire. You may be experiencing stuck patterns due to past traumatic experiences, lack of attunement within relationships, or chronic stress or illness that has been challenging to manage. If you are seeking a life with more depth, greater joy and fulfillment, and increased regulation within your body, you've come to the right place.
I prioritize authenticity and relatability in session - I don't have all the answers and don't pretend to have it all figured out. Through my training and experience, I have spent years developing the skills and approach as a therapist to be able to work with my clients in a down to earth way that feels approachable and honest.
Therapy offers a space to work through life's challenges and stuck patterns. Let's work together to support your growth in a way that prioritizes your goals and needs. I invite you to reach out to book a consultation as I would love to support your journey towards wholeness!

I specialize in working with clients navigating all types of traumatic stress, as well as chronic pain and illness. Our first session will be an opportunity to discuss how our therapeutic work together can provide you with a plan to address your challenges in a way that helps you regulate both your mind and body. Many of my clients start to feel gradually more calm and content right away.

I blend traditional psychotherapy models with other experiential types of interventions, most commonly Somatic Experiencing. By blending a body-based approach with traditional talk therapy, we'll look at how the body and mind can work together to promote healing.
