I believe folks have the innate ability to find healing and change within themselves through supportive guidance in a safe environment. My aim is to provide space for discussion, exploration, learning, and growth—however that looks. I follow the client's lead in identifying and approaching their concerns, including tailoring treatment methods to best fit their goals and learning styles. I approach every therapeutic relationship being trauma informed, culturally sensitive, and person-centered. I am passionate about increasing self-awareness, learning how to navigate challenges, and practicing healthy connection and communication.

You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, but inside, something still feels unsettled. Anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain, or the lingering impact of past experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or exhausted from trying to “figure it out” on your own. Your body often knows you’re overwhelmed before your mind can explain why. You might notice tension, restlessness, shutdown, or patterns that feel automatic and hard to change. Some clients also seek support for relationship distress or couples concerns.

I have found that our connections to one another, our loved ones, and nature are at the heart of healing and joy. I bring a warm, open, and affirming approach to therapy where I aim for you to feel understood, seen, and emotionally held. My specialties are around healing trauma (simple & complex), relational issues (couples & adult-child families), divorce, grief, and boundary work. In undergrad, my focus of study was on gender and social history, as an intersectional feminist, I gained a deep understanding of the systems that we live within and how their histories continue to impact us today at multiple levels of our identities.

I believe therapy works best when it’s responsive, relational, and rooted in trust. I pay close attention to how emotions and the nervous system show up in the room, helping us slow things down when needed and stay connected to what’s actually happening beneath the surface. My therapeutic work is rooted through an attachment-based lens, with a psychodynamic focus on patterns in relationships and how they’ve formed over time. I believe in holistic, somatic practices that encourage mind-body connection, or “bottom up” approaches in addition to “top down" talk therapy.

Therapy offers a variety of advantages for children, supporting their emotional, social, and cognitive development. One significant benefit is emotional regulation, where children can learn effective coping strategies to handle stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as recognize and express their feelings in a constructive way, ultimately boosting their emotional resilience. Additionally, therapy helps improve social skills by fostering better communication and interpersonal relationships, enabling children to form healthy connections with peers and family, and equipping them to tackle social difficulties like bullying or anxiety.
