About My Clients

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or a desire to feel more fully alive. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for your inner wisdom. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or returning to it, I invite you to explore what’s possible, together.

My Background and Approach

My approach is integrative and intuitive, weaving together somatic practices, psychodynamic influences, person-centered depth psychology, and mindfulness-based modalities. I see each person as inherently whole—even when past experiences have made that hard to feel. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll listen closely to the wisdom of your body and nervous system, inviting more clarity, connection, and regulation into your life.
