About

Whatever brought you here, welcome. Often, people seek help because they have a sense that all is not well, even if they don’t have language to explain what they feel or why. I believe that honoring this knowing is one of the bravest things we can do and is an essential step in recovering a sense of well-being. I consider it a privilege to join with clients to explore the beliefs, hopes, fears, and struggles that are all part of what it means to be human. I draw from trauma-focused, relational, narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches, and prioritize creating a safe, compassionate, therapeutic relationship. Trauma and other painful life experiences result in disconnection from ourselves and others. Healing these places of disconnection allows a return to safety, to being present in our bodies, and connection to our own knowing. This re-connection allows us to recover an authentic sense of who we are and how we want to be in the world.
