About

Life can leave us feeling heavy, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who we want to be. You may be carrying emotional wounds from past relationships, family experiences, or trauma that still shape how you show up today. I provide a supportive space where we can slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are strong, capable, and worthy of peace. I work with adults and couples facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relational distress, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, misunderstood, or unsure how to move forward, we’ll work together to create meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. We’ll explore your story and identify the core patterns that are causing pain or disruption. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a grounded, compassionate presence. I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and centered on your strengths. Many clients begin to notice greater clarity, emotional relief, and improved relationships as we work together consistently. **Specialties:** Trauma-Informed & Person-Centered, Mind-Body Awareness, & Emotional Regulation. Attachment & Relationship-Focused Work. Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Relationship and Family Conflict, Identity Development & Self-Esteem, Couples Communication & Conflict Resolution, Life Transitions, & Stress Management.

"You don't have to keep trying to hold everything together on your own. If what you've read resonates with you, I'd encourage you to reach out. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater connection, stability, and hope."
