About My Clients

I enjoy helping people navigate family dynamics and life transitions such as school, career, or relationship shifts as well as those learning how to manage overwhelm. I work with individuals, families, and couples who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or conflict. My ideal clients are those who are ready to explore their inner world, their unconscious patterns, and impulsive reactions so that they may navigate their relationships and daily life with greater fulfillment, meaning, and ease.

My Background and Approach

My unique skill set as a mental health clinician and occupational therapy provider affords me the ability to work with individuals holistically. I consider your emotional dispositions, bodily/nervous system states, routines, environments, and demands encountered in your daily life as we explore your healing path together. My approach includes the combination of talk therapy, somatic principles, nervous system regulation, and depth psychology, resting on the foundation of the mind-body connection to access one’s body wisdom. I believe we all have access to our own inner wisdom when given the support and felt-sense of safety necessary to get in touch with our intuitive knowing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I maintain that human diversity is our strength and work to create a safe and accepting space as you navigate your growth edges. It is my intention to work with you where you are and at the pace just right for you. I believe that collaboration is key in a therapeutic relationship. I am here to support you on your journey. I have a wide range of life experiences, including military service, that have helped me to know that there is beauty and creative potential in variety. I enjoy working with all people including veterans, neurodivergent folks, multi-ethnic families, as well as children.
