I embrace a holistic view of my clients, recognizing that we are all complex beings with physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions and needs.
I empower clients to actively participate in their healing process and collaborate with them in setting goals and developing treatment plans.
I approach therapy with sensitivity to the prevalence and impact of trauma, recognizing the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for healing.
I respect and honor the diversity of your background, identity, and belief systems. I recognize the influence of culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and other factors on your experiences.
Whether you are navigating a difficult period, seeking deeper self-understanding, or looking to create meaningful change, I provide a space to slow down, gain insight, and reconnect with your inner resources. As a relational somatic and holistic psychotherapist, I work with the understanding that our emotional health is closely connected with our bodies, relationships, environment, and life experiences.
A central part of my work is informed by Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), a gentle, body-oriented approach that focuses on the nervous system and how the body responds to stress, overwhelm, and past experiences. By bringing attention to physical sensations and the body’s natural rhythms, you develop greater awareness of how emotions and stress are held in the body. Over time, this process can support the release of held tension, strengthen the capacity for regulation, and foster a deeper sense of safety, resilience, and presence.
Alongside this somatic work, I draw on a range of therapeutic perspectives and tailor our sessions to your individual needs and goals. Our work together may include reflective conversation, IFS informed parts work, practical tools for managing stress or anxiety, breathwork, and gentle mind–body awareness practices that support emotional balance and self-understanding.
Relationships are often where our deepest patterns come to the surface. The ways we learned to connect, protect ourselves, and seek comfort as children quietly shape how we show up with the people we love most. Sometimes those patterns create distance, conflict, or disconnection that feels impossible to bridge alone.
I work with couples who are navigating communication struggles, recurring conflict, life transitions, intimacy challenges, or the impact of trauma on their relationship. My approach draws on attachment theory, Relational Life Therapy, and the research-backed methods of the Gottman Institute to help couples understand not just what is happening between them, but why, and how to find their way back to each other.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) informs this work too. Conflict and disconnection live in the body as much as the mind, and slowing down to notice those physical responses can open new pathways to understanding and connection.
Whether you are in crisis, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to grow closer, couples work can be a profound opportunity to break old patterns and build something new together.

As a parent, therapist, licensed school counselor and educator, I have a unique perspective into the needs of parents and children. My first experience working with children was over 20 years ago where as part of my doctoral clinical psychology program, I provided both therapy and psychological testing to school-aged children. Since that time, I've worked in a variety of roles in school settings, including a college counseling center, elementary, middle and high schools.
Those experiences provided me the opportunity to support not only children, but their families as well. I have come to see that parents are in need of supports that are not routinely offered. With that, I trained and worked with the author of The Conscious Parent, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, to become certified as a conscious parenting coach. I work as a guide alongside parents as they seek to understand how their own patterns of relating to others impacts their child's ability to do the same. The process is collaborative, nonjudgemental and will serve as a path to true connection for you and your child.
