Nice to meet you

I help clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and the lasting effects of complex family dynamics. My approach blends Person-Centered and Trauma-Informed CBT with inner child work, shadow exploration, somatic awareness, and attachment-based insight. Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your pace and goals. You can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story is honored and your growth is supported as we uncover patterns and build insight for lasting change.

Interests

Outside of my work as a therapist, I value connection, creativity, and balance. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring local events around town, and staying active through yoga and time in nature. I’m drawn to the arts—whether it's live music, visual art, or community festivals—and I find joy in discovering new experiences that bring people together. Whether it’s a quiet walk outdoors or a vibrant concert, I believe in nourishing the spirit through meaningful moments both big and small.
