Great to meet you!

My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions. Through working with a diverse range of clients, I’ve found that many women move through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in survival mode.

My approach to therapy

I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, integrating somatic therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, CBT, psychoeducation, and other evidence based approaches. My work is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in helping you feel more resourced, connected, and empowered to navigate life with greater authenticity and ease.

What you can expect from me

My approach is rooted in body based healing, helping clients cultivate a deeper sense of safety, regulation, and self-trust. Together, we’ll explore how emotions and lived experiences are held in the body while creating a warm, supportive space for healing, reconnection, and growth. We cannot think our way to safety; we must feel it.
