About My Clients

Therapy with me is a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, past trauma, or a major life transition, we’ll work at a pace that feels supportive—helping your nervous system settle so real change can happen. My clients become curious about patterns, habits and automatic thoughts and behaviors. This allows for insight through compassion and ultimately more choice in healing. Something in your life isn’t working the way you'd like, lets get curious!

My Background and Approach

My approach is casual and grounded in somatic therapy, which means we pay attention not just to your thoughts, but to your body and nervous system as well. Many of the patterns we struggle with—like anxiety, overwhelm, or the lingering impact of past experiences—aren’t just mental. They live in the body. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and begin to notice what’s happening beneath the surface, at a pace that feels supportive and manageable. Over time, this can help you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more connected to yourself. I adjust the amount of somatic work I infuse into session based on your interest, if somatic focus isnt of interest, we can work through trauma, anxiety and life transitions with a more talk-therapy focused individual therapy model.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy works best when people feel emotionally safe, genuinely seen, and free to show up as their full selves without judgment. My approach is relational, somatic, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping people reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and move toward greater self-understanding and self-compassion. I view many symptoms—including anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, and disconnection—not as signs that something is “wrong” with a person, but as understandable adaptations shaped by life experiences, relationships, and survival strategies. I value inclusivity, authenticity, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of each person’s lived experience. I affirm the dignity, humanity, and rights of people across identities, cultures, genders, sexual orientations, belief systems, and relationship structures, and strive to create a space where clients feel supported, respected, and empowered in their healing process.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
