Together, we uncover the power you already hold.

Great to meet you!

I work with individuals and couples seeking greater connection, resilience, and clarity in their lives and relationships. As a Mental Health Counselor, I recognize that each person carries unique challenges to navigate as well as strengths to draw on when meeting life’s demands. That’s why I integrate a variety of somatic and cognitive approaches, tailoring my work to each client’s individual needs.

At the core of my approach is compassion, inclusivity, and collaboration. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel truly seen and accepted as you are. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to explore what lies beneath your discomfort, break cycles of avoidance or self-struggle, and develop new strategies for living with greater ease. My aim is to help you strengthen your nervous system’s capacity for self-regulation, deepen resilience, and move toward a life more fully aligned with your values.

Ways I Can Support You

  • Finding clarity and direction through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
  • Breaking free from cycles of avoidance or self-criticism using Parts Work and Focusing.
  • Reconnecting with your body’s wisdom through somatic, trauma-informed approaches.
  • Strengthening relationships and emotional connection for couples using IMAGO-inspired communication tools.
  • Building resilience and calm through mindfulness and nervous system regulation practices.
  • Navigating life’s challenges with Motivational Interviewing (MI) and supportive, collaborative conversation.
  • Feeling less alone by working in safe, compassionate space for growth.
