I am committed to helping people learn how to get in touch with their emotions, have healthy relationships and find meaning in their life. My work focuses on trauma, existential crisis, lack of direction and focus. I believe in making sense of your life up to this point while also creating goals to become the person you want to be. If you're willing to do the hard work of healing and are committed to putting self-awareness and integration as top values, we will work well together.

It takes profound courage to acknowledge patterns that keep us stuck, even greater courage to ask for help & engage in a process of change. Our greatest challenges & vulnerabilities are often doorways into our greatest strengths and capacities. I specialize in working with people who deal with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, as well as struggles that arise in the wake of trauma. I have a background in yoga & meditation as well as in working as a labor doula. These areas of experience often influence my therapeutic approach & reinforce my trust in the wisdom of the body & the nervous system.

My work is trauma-informed and client-directed, focusing on self-care and mental wellness by guiding, empowering, and working collaboratively to assist participants in achieving their goals.
Reaching out for support can be difficult, but it can also be the first step on a journey of healing, discovery, wellness, and care for yourself. I’m glad you’re here! I have provided individual therapy to adults, young adults, adolescents, and new parents for over twenty years and enjoy supporting others in learning about themselves, developing adaptive ways to manage distress, and feeling more connected to their experiences. Humans have a natural capacity for healing and growth; and through our work together, I support participants in exploring “stuck” places and living a more authentic, integrated life.
