Overview

As a therapist, I’m here to support you through life’s challenges—whether you're navigating a major transition, struggling with your mood or anxiety, living with the effects of complex trauma or PTSD, or working through family dynamics. If you’re on a journey to heal from intergenerational trauma, I have a deep passion for helping you reconnect with your body and teach it that it’s safe now—that you no longer have to live in survival mode.

I often use a gentle somatic therapy called Lifespan Integration to help you process trauma in a way that feels safe and grounded. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which offers you skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and clear communication—practical tools that can make a real difference in how you feel and relate to others.

My approach is human-centered and collaborative. I’ll walk alongside you as you explore your inner world at your own pace, always honoring your unique strengths and worldview to foster healing.
