It is hard enough to lose your childhood; it is unacceptable to lose your adulthood, too. - Judith Herman. Pain can be overwhelming when we face it alone. As a practitioner, I strive to create a safe space for you to share your struggles and offer support through evidence-based techniques.

I work from a somatic, bottom-up perspective.
Spiritual/Religious abuse & early childhood trauma look similar in adults, and I work with both populations. Both create relational conflict. Both create guilt, shame, isolation, fear of abandonment, and rejection that may look like codependence, relationship avoidance, anxiety, and depression. Both cause you to lose sight of who you are. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a healthier mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships. Find your confidence, your inner self.

I blend ketamine-assisted therapy with EMDR and somatic therapies for a holistic approach to trauma-symptom healing, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
I see myself as a companion and guide for highly sensitive, empathic individuals seeking a path to recovery from trauma. If you're the person everyone else goes to for support, but you struggle with getting your own needs met and finding time for self-nourishment, I'm here for you. I love to help my highly sensitive, empathic, caretaker-type clients build healthier relationships with clear boundaries, swap out negative self-talk for more affirming beliefs, find new ways of relating to and managing their anxiety and depression, and come home to their bodies.

Every person has the potential to live with more freedom, joy, ease, and love, and therapy supports us to realize this potential.

My goal is to help you live with more peace, acceptance, autonomy, confidence, satisfaction, intimacy, and joy.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, helping clients to feel more grounded and integrated in a sometimes fragmented world.
Do you want to make changes, but feel unsure where to begin? Maybe you're in a period of transition and struggling to feel grounded. These are situations we all experience throughout life.

Often it takes a collaborative effort to get to that place, and that's where I believe I can help. I work with clients to support them in sharing their stories, identifying values and making changes.

I honor the profound connection between mind and body and often incorporate somatic, body-based practices into therapy.
Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve a safe and affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces. I enjoy working with trauma survivors, folks with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses, immigrants/adult children of immigrants, and aspiring cycle-breakers. I believe that healing is not only a tool for personal transformation but also a catalyst for our collective liberation.
