Welcome
I’m a trauma-informed therapist committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you’ll be met with acceptance, empathy, compassion, and honesty. Together, we’ll explore what healing looks like for you—drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches to find the methods that best support your unique needs. I believe deeply in the strength and wisdom of my clients. You are the expert of your own life, and you hold the power to create meaningful change.
Tools for Navigating Anxiety, Stress, and Uncertainty
Life’s unpredictability—whether from world events or personal struggles—can lead to anxiety, fear, and overwhelm. My goal is to help you find calm, groundedness, and emotional stability using simple, effective tools that regulate your nervous system and ease stress. I integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, Mindfulness and Guided Plant Medicine Integration to support your body and mind in the healing process, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and capacity for resilience.
Healing, Growth, and Empowerment
In our work together, we’ll gently examine patterns of thought and behavior that may be causing emotional distress. Through a collaborative and compassionate process, you’ll learn to express your emotions, clarify your goals, and develop coping strategies to face life’s challenges with confidence. My mission is to support you in making peace with the past, living fully in the present, and moving forward into a more centered, empowered future.
Supporting Older Adults Through Life’s Transitions
One of my areas of focus is working with older adults as they navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that often accompany aging. This can include processing grief and loss, adjusting to retirement, coping with isolation, managing chronic illness or physical changes, and supporting a partner with dementia. I also help clients explore shifting identities, evolving roles within family and society, and the search for meaning and purpose in later life. My approach is grounded in deep respect for the resilience, wisdom, and life experience that come with age.
