On our bleakest days, it can be hard to imagine that life can feel better. It can. We all have an innate capacity to grow and heal, and sometimes it just takes the right guide and tools to get there.

Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. Adversity and long-standing patterns can limit our sense of what’s possible in the present. Therapy offers a steady, compassionate space to slow down, feel seen, and reconnect with our authentic selves. In my experience, therapy is like a flashlight with a gentle beam that illuminates the parts of us that already hold the wisdom we need in order to heal.

I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in authenticity and trust. I am sensitive to the effects of trauma on the body, psyche, and nervous system, and I take care to meet clients where they are. I offer EMDR, often incorporating parts work and somatic awareness, as well as integrative therapy that explores how past experiences affect the present, strengths and values, mindfulness, and the development of internal resources to support feelings of calmness, contentment, and balance.

I have supported adolescents and adults navigating the impacts of trauma, including childhood trauma and experiences of emotional, physical, and sexual harm, as well as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and questions of identity and self-worth. My aim is to facilitate inner harmony and self-compassion, and I am committed to offering an affirming, welcoming space for all.

My professional path has been shaped by a wide range of life experiences, including environmental activism, the study of world religions and experiential spirituality, creative writing, non-profit leadership, massage therapy, and energy healing work. I am also informed by lived experiences of adversity and caregiving. My own life events have given me a deep appreciation for each person’s unique journey, and I am grateful to be able to walk alongside those who choose to work with me.
