My priority as a therapist is to bring a sense of safety into the room, helping you feel seen, supported, and heard with the comfort to come as you are. As women we often get caught in the habit of putting everyone else first—whether it’s family, work, or other people’s needs—and it’s easy to lose sight of ourselves in the process. My job is to help you reconnect with who you are, process what’s happening, build healthy coping strategies, and create a life that feels more healed, and aligned with your values, desires, and goals.

 I recognize that true growth happens when we’re willing to look a little bit deeper.

 We’ll take things at your pace, combining practical everyday strategies with meaningful insights and skill-building. Together, we’ll also explore the parts of your past, present, or future that feel difficult to face or may have been overlooked until now. This is where the real healing happens, allowing you to release old patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you and empowering you to reclaim your life and relationships.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and focused on emotion and attachment. Rooted in psychodynamic theory, I help clients address the connection between past experiences and present challenges. I’m informed and inspired by advances in neuroscience, particularly how the nervous system shapes feelings of safety and influences our instinctual responses. This understanding helps normalize behaviors and provides a foundation for healing.

Often, we look to our thoughts to help make changes—this is known as a 'top-down' approach, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on how our thinking patterns influence our emotions and behaviors. But there’s also growing science to suggest that a body-based, or 'bottom-up,' approach can be just as effective, if not more so. Somatic work focuses on the ways your body communicates with you, helping to access its natural ability to heal. I integrate both of these approaches to provide a balanced perspective—working from the top down and the ground up. EMDR is another powerful tool I use to help you process distressing life events so they feel less overwhelming and more like a part of your story that no longer defines you. Together, these methods create space for real and lasting change.

I’ll check in regularly to see how things are going—making sure you feel supported, revisiting your goals, and reviewing your progress. I’ll often ask questions like:

      "How’s this going for you?"

      "Am I helping?"

      "Are we on track?"

      “What have you noticed has changed since we started?”

 It’s important to me that you feel comfortable with the process, so if something doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust it together. This is your journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

 I’m also not here to sugarcoat things, and you can always trust that I will be honest with you. This process can be challenging, but I’ll be there with you through it all, cheering you on. I believe in your ability to grow and heal, and I’ll always encourage you to pause and recognize the progress you’re making, even if it feels small. With warmth, honesty, and a bit of humor, I aim to create a space where you can connect with who you are at your core and discover all that you’re capable of.

I know what it’s like to navigate pain and do the hard work of healing—I’ve been there myself. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping others find their way through challenges.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you might find me geeking out over the latest neuroscience developments and brainstorming how to make them practical for my clients. I’m also a bit of a game-night competitor, a dog lover, and someone who can’t resist good chocolate. Baby laughter? It’s my favorite sound. Music and art? They’re my soul food.

Above all, I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
