About My Clients

Do you feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you are or where you’re headed? Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, curious people navigating depression, anxiety, or a deep sense of confusion or loneliness. Some are processing childhood or relational trauma; others are making sense of powerful experiences, including psychedelic use, that have shifted how they see themselves or the world. If you’re asking big questions about meaning, identity, or belonging, reach out.

My Background and Approach

My background is in trauma-informed, relational psychotherapy, and I work with people who feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of who they are, or what they want in life. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I help you understand how past experiences and adaptations may have shaped your sense of safety, identity, and choice. I draw from somatic therapy, parts-based work, and experiential approaches like AEDP to support nervous system regulation, self-trust, and integration. Our work is collaborative and paced, grounded in the present moment while gently exploring what’s underneath. I also have specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and offer preparation and integration support to help make sense of powerful or disorienting experiences. My goal is to help you come back to yourself to feel safe in your body, confident in who you are, and free to live in alignment with what you want, rather than who you’ve had to be.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing happens in spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and fully themselves. I value depth, authenticity, and compassion, and I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors the complexity of the human experience rather than trying to simplify or pathologize it. I support and welcome individuals across identities, orientations, and relationship structures. I also believe in the importance of trauma-informed work, especially for those impacted by early childhood, relational, spiritual, or religious trauma. At a broader level, I’m interested in how systems cultural, familial, technological, and religious shape our sense of self, safety, and belonging. I believe therapy can be a place not only for symptom relief, but for reclaiming agency, meaning, and the freedom to live in alignment with one’s values. My work is grounded in respect for lived experience, curiosity over judgment, and a deep belief in our capacity to heal.
