Something I learned early in my career, back when I was working in child welfare as a CPS worker, is that people are far more resilient than they give themselves credit for. Even in the hardest, messiest, most overwhelming seasons of life, there is strength in you. Sometimes you just need someone to help you find it again. That belief is at the center of everything I do. I work with adults, young adults, teens, and children who may be carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, big life changes, and the kind of self-doubt that makes it hard to move forward. I’ve also spent time supporting military-connected families.

You’ve always seemed “so capable” to everyone else — but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted from holding it all together. Maybe you’re Autistic or have ADHD, and you’re carrying old wounds from family or past relationships that left you feeling like your needs didn’t matter. You might be queer, kinky, poly, or just wonderfully different, but you want to stop masking, heal that chronic invalidation, and learn how to show up more honestly with the people you care about.

Additionally, I work with college students and young adults facing anxiety, depression, academic stress, and uncertainty about their path.

What if therapy actually felt like talking to someone who gets it? Not awkward silences. Not repeating your story for the tenth time. Not feeling like a case file. Just a real conversation with someone in your corner. That's what I try to create. I work with people who've had a hard time connecting in therapy, whether you tend to shut down, don't trust easily, or just haven't found the right fit. My clients often say they're surprised how comfortable they feel, and how fast the time goes. That's not an accident. I believe the relationship is the foundation. Everything else builds from there.

My path to this work began with my own healing journey and a deep calling to help others access the tools they already carry within themselves. I began my career supporting clients as a life coach 10 years ago, guiding people through transitions, self-discovery, and personal growth. In work with me, individuals move beyond symptom relief toward genuine transformation. My integrative approach weaves together somatic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, attachment theory, and parts work to address the roots of nervous system dysregulation, trauma, chronic pain, and low self-worth. I believe the body holds profound emotional intelect.
