I work with clients who are struggling with a variety of difficult life experiences and who are interested in feeling more comfortable, aware, and aligned in their bodies and in the world. I support adults, adolescents, and couples as they move through major life transitions and encounter feelings of shame, grief, anxiety, fear, depression, and low self-esteem. Together, we follow what feels significant, shine a light on well-worn patterns, and gently experiment with new ways of relating to self and others.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and at heart, a Healer. I believe healing involves the Mind, Body, and Spirit and that through this connection, we can let go of painful Trauma and Limiting/False beliefs that hold us back. I work with Individuals and Couples to help bring clarity where they may be confusion. I use EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help people work with Trauma and to develop and strengthen their sense of self. When we come from this place of self-awareness, we can have truly satisfying relationships with others because we have healed the wounds within.

I believe everyone is capable of living their fullest, most vibrant life and it is my passion to help them achieve it. I help clients foster insight by processing their past experiences and gently uncovering the ways their pasts connect with their current struggles. I teach clients to discover the patterns and rules that keep them stuck and then support them in cultivating a life that brings them joy and fulfillment. I invite my clients on a journey of self-compassion and teach them how to prioritize gentleness and self-care. I believe therapy can be silly and even fun while still being impactful and effective.

You might just be Highly Sensitive (HSP) - born with increased sensory processing sensitivity that makes you keenly aware of all kinds of subtleties around you.
