Hello, and welcome! What a big step you've taken by looking for help; I know it wasn't easy, but the hardest part is now behind you. My approach to therapy was born out of my passion for supporting and witnessing people on their journey to finding themselves. Along the way, my top priority is to hold compassionate space for all of you - all of your joy and sorrow, your fear and anger, your old wounds and new. I primarily specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people struggling with numbness, anger, codependency, substance use, or low self-esteem due to trauma related to relationships, family, or adverse experiences.
Using a polyvagal, attachment-based approach, I draw on techniques from Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive therapies (eg. art, play, sand tray), and somatic experiencing to foster resilience, process trauma, improve self-image, build self-respect, and reconnect with your sense of joy and wonder.
My mission is to empower you to flourish and weather any storm that comes your way. ​You deserve more than just getting by – together, we'll embark on this journey to (re)discover your most favorite self and unlock the fullness that has always lied within you. If you think I can help, book with me now by clicking on my website!

I work with adults struggling with numbness, anger, depression, anxiety, codependency, or low self-esteem due to trauma related to relationships, family, or life circumstances. The initial session will help us identify your goals and collaborate on a plan to achieve them. Working with traumatized clients requires us to prioritize creating safety before processing traumatic memories or responses.
