Let me just start by saying, I am so glad you’re here! People seek out therapy for many different reasons. Often people feel stuck and don’t know what to do about it. I’m here to help you identify and navigate life’s challenges to begin living the life you want to be living. I see therapy as a supportive space where you can feel heard and get to know yourself better. The purpose of my work is to show you that your experience makes sense, there is nothing wrong with you, and healing is possible. 

I am a holistic psychotherapist, which means I use a “whole-person” approach. Together we will integrate mind and body to work towards greater nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, and connection. The approaches and tools I work with are the ones I’ve found personally most effective, and I really look forward to being able to share them with you. 

Who do I work with?

My expertise is with adolescents and transitional-age youth, so generally people ages 12-25. I have 15 years of experience serving this community and absolutely love it. To help serve the broader community, I’ve recently opened up my practice to adults of all ages as well. 

I work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, low self-esteem, AD/HD, academic discouragement, and overwhelm to reclaim their sense of inner peace and find more sustainable ways of being. 

How do I work?

My counseling style is warm and compassionate. My approach as a therapist is relational, somatic (body), strengths-based, and trauma-informed. 

I will work collaboratively with you to identify your goals, have vulnerable conversations and develop emotionally-focused vocabulary for your experiences. Together, we’ll identify practices that support your well-being far beyond your time in therapy. Polyvagal theory, attachment theory, inner child work, and parts work are the bedrock of my practice. In our sessions, I will use and teach tools like emotional freedom technique (aka tapping), breathwork, and mindfulness to reduce your stress and come into greater nervous system regulation.

I would love to support your journey and am always here to listen, don’t hesitate to reach out.
