In my therapy practice, I use an eclectic approach that blends person-centered principles with mindful self-compassion. I believe in working relationally, providing my clients with a safe and supportive space for open communication and self-exploration.
I work as a compassionate ally, helping my clients to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion which empowers them to better understand and regulate their own emotions and behaviors, and ultimately to create more fulfilling and meaningful relationships with others.
Working from a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, I help my clients alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, navigate difficult life transitions, heal from past traumas, and improve their overall quality of life.
I believe that all of us have the power to create positive change in our lives, and I am passionate about supporting people on their journeys of healing and growth. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey towards the most aligned version of yourself.
I'm pleased to be working in private practice where I welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are looking for kind and compassionate support through life’s many challenges. I work with individual adults, children and teens.

My eclectic approach is informed by various therapeutic and traditional healing modalities and enriched by decades of personal and professional experiences. I am very client centered in my therapeutic work, meeting each person where they are and tailoring sessions to address their unique needs. I support individuals, couples, families and groups.
I offer my clients a safe, compassionate and open-minded space that supports a depthful therapeutic relationship- this empowers self-exploration to understand oneself more clearly and to heal parts or aspects of oneself, leading to living a more authentic life. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the therapeutic process, offering ways of exploring and understanding self identity and reworking old patterns affecting self and others.
I believe that all of us innately know how to heal ourselves in these most challenging times. Working from a trauma-informed and strength based approach I support my clients in improving their well-being, wholeness and overall quality of life. As part of my holistic approach, I sometimes incorporate Ayurvedic Health and Nutrition for Mental Health, when aligned.
In addition to supporting clients I enjoy cooking, hiking with family, friends and my two dogs, traveling, and experiencing this amazing earth in which we inhabit.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, relational, and trauma informed. I support clients in bringing attention to their body and mind to make space for what needs gentle attention, nurturance, and healing.
Therapy is a deeply personal and conscious journey toward healing, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients with care and respect. I support my clients by creating a space that offers as much or as little structure as needed, always tailored to help them reach their goals at a pace that feels right for them. I incorporate trauma-informed care and trauma reprocessing interventions (EMDR) as well as somatic and emotional inquiry to help my clients build awareness and resilience on their journey.
As a neurodivergent affirming neurodivergent therapist, I bring a compassionate understanding of how sensory experiences can shape interactions with the world. I support my clients by adapting our work in ways that foster greater autonomy, self acceptance, embodiment, and a sense of ease within themselves.
