Welcome! We might work well together if you're seeking a therapist who is gentle, direct, and engaged in session. I enjoy helping people improve their relationships with themselves, other people, and the challenging parts of life – things like trauma, anxiety, stress, communication, depression, and grief. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be heard and to heal no matter how they live or identify. And I love learning! I grow alongside every client I see.

Using a holistic approach, I combine somatic therapy with traditional talk therapy. I also use narrative therapy to help revise the stories keeping you stuck. For couples, I used Gottman Method Couples Therapy and attachment-based interventions to improve communication and conflict. I also offer secular marriage preparation.

Every personal development journey is unique, creative, and made infinitely easier by having the right supports. Please reach out if you have any questions about how I might support you on your path to healing and growth.

If you're wondering how to heal from childhood trauma, somatic therapy might be a good option for you. Somatic therapies like Somatic Experiencing and Self-Regulation Therapy are gentle yet powerful approaches to shifting your nervous system from fight-or-flight into rest-and-recover.
