“Therapy is most powerful when it feels like a genuine, compassionate partnership. We all carry a story, and the experiences we hold shape everything, from how we move through the world and love others, to the way we speak to ourselves.”

If you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by old patterns, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will explore your narrative, honor where you have been, and build a clearer, more empowered path forward.

MY APPROACH

My practice is warm and relational. True healing goes far beyond surface-level problem-solving, it requires a space where you feel completely safe, truly seen, and deeply understood.

I specialize in trauma recovery and relationship-focused care, guiding individuals, couples, and families, through anxiety, childhood wounds, shame, and emotional distress. Because true transformation engages both the mind and body, my clinical toolkit is dynamic, integrative, and tailored to your unique journey:

  • Gentle, Advanced Trauma Processing: Certified in Trauma-Focused CBT, trained in EMDR, and certified in the FLASH Technique, helping you safely process painful memories and release emotional weight.                                                                   

  • Somatic & Narrative Integration: Combining body-based somatic interventions to regulate your nervous system with narrative therapy to help you unlearn self-limiting scripts and rewrite your story.

  • Attachment & Relationship Repair: I am certified in Prepare/Enrich, Gottman Method (Level 1) trained, and informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I help couples break toxic cycles, rebuild trust, and restore deep, lasting intimacy.

OUTSIDE OF THERAPY

When I’m out of the office, you’ll usually find me at the park with my pups, at a coffee shop trying a new cold brew, or at a yoga class. 

I love catching live music,  comedy shows,  experimenting with  new recipes, and spending quality time with the people I hold dear.
