About

I am dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner worlds and navigate complex emotional landscapes. With specialized training in trauma recovery, I help individuals unpack past experiences and their impact on current patterns, fostering healing and resilience. Through a relational and insight-oriented approach, I work collaboratively with clients to deepen self-awareness, break unhelpful cycles, and cultivate a sense of agency in their lives.

My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change comes from learning how to have mutually-enriching relationships with others. I practice from an integrative approach with groundings in psychodynamic theory. I also utilize mindfulness and somatic techniques, because sometimes words are not enough.

I work with adults across the lifespan who struggle with a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and substance use. I have expertise in working with individuals from the LGBTQ community. I am also well-versed in the requirements for surgical letters of readiness. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey!
