Welcome! Choosing to heal, learn, and grow takes incredible courage, especially when life feels challenging or overwhelming. Reaching out for support can seem daunting, and trusting someone with your unique life experience may feel vulnerable. I would be so honored to hold space for you on your healing journey.

In my practice I am committed to holding a gentle and safe space for you to connect with your inner resources for healing, and to return to your authentic self, wholeness, and aliveness. Trauma and chronic stress can keep your nervous system locked in a fight-flight-freeze response and block you from experiencing your deepest sense of well-being. These stress patterns can interfere with physical health and emotional wellness. As a somatic psychotherapist I support you to unwind these patterns and access the wisdom of your body for healing and transformation. By slowing down and listening to the language of the nervous system, we can restore equilibrium and grow resilience, transforming the ways we connect with ourselves, others, and our environment.

As a counselor, I am authentic, transparent, and engaged. I bring a gentle curiosity, and a capacity to hold the light in the darkest of depths. My holistic approach supports change and growth through therapeutic processes that attend to the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I offer a container where you can reflect, expand, and explore your inner world as you reconnect to your strengths, values, and sense of well-being.

Although I work with all adults and young adults, I specialize in working with women and those identifying as women who are moving through life transitions or deepening in their healing journey.
