About

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but the best predictor of success is the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist. My goal is to create a judgment-free space where you feel respected and supported while also holding up an honest, compassionate mirror. My approach is to help you develop tangible skills while deepening your understanding of the beliefs that shape your interactions with the world. I believe the stories we tell ourselves—about who we are and what we deserve—shape how we experience the world, and that our connections with others play a crucial role in our well-being. I specialize in supporting clients healing from trauma—developing a deeper sense of regulation, resilience, and trust—using Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and parts work (IFS). I also support people navigating uncertainty and self-criticism, processing health-related challenges, and couples seeking deeper connection or working through conflict.
