Currently accepting new clients. I’m a integrative and holistic therapist with ten years of experience helping people move through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and the messy work of rebuilding self-worth. My style isn’t about quick fixes or sugarcoating, it’s about getting honest, going deep, and learning to trust yourself again. I work with people who feel a little “too much” or “not enough,” those who are burned out, cracked open, or just tired of pretending everything’s fine. We’ll tune into your body, listen to what it’s really trying to say, and work with the parts of you that’ve been carrying the weight for too long.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who uses a person-centered approach to support individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by past or present experiences. Many people I work with are navigating trauma, attachment wounds, or depression and are seeking a safe space to process their emotions and make sense of their story. There is often a desire for deeper, healthier relationships—with themselves and others—even if the path forward isn’t yet clear. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel seen and heard while gaining practical tools, emotional insight, and a renewed sense of hope.

In my 20+ years of counseling couples, families, parents, and individuals, I have provided my clients with a safe environment to restore themselves and rediscover their strengths.

You're carrying more than most people know. The anxiety that won't quit. The quiet shame. The relational patterns you keep repeating no matter how aware you are of them. Old wounds have a way of running the show long after you think they should. Something happened, or finally caught up with you, and you're realizing you can't just push through it anymore. You're not looking for coping tools or psychoeducation. You want to actually get to the root.
