The “why” behind my passion and what kind of therapist I am:

I spent a lot of my life feeling disconnected from my body because of trauma and emotional neglect. My life experience is what fuels my passion for this work. I want to offer my clients what I once needed and what others have gifted me with—a safe, nonjudgmental space to be curious, to heal, and to explore. My goal is to hold space for the things others in your life may not have been able to, in a way that helps you stay connected instead of shutting down. My hope is that your parts feel safe to soften here.

I work with clients who want to heal from past trauma, break unhelpful or generational patterns, overcome limiting beliefs, sit with their emotions, and learn to connect with and listen to their bodies.

Clients often describe me as relatable, insightful, attentive, accepting, patient, and safe. My personal and therapeutic values include safety, curiosity, compassion, humor, and leading with heart and intuition.
