Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed psychotherapist and certified Somatic Activated Healing coach who believes that lasting healing happens when we work with both the mind and the body. Much of my work integrates traditional psychotherapy with somatic and movement-based practices that help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and process emotions in a deeper way.

My approach to therapy

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the lingering impact of early emotional wounds such as abandonment, rejection, or feeling “not enough.” In our work together, we may incorporate mindfulness, breathing practices, body awareness, and gentle movement alongside evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll introduce ourselves and begin building a comfortable and trusting space for our work together. I’ll ask questions to learn more about your history, current concerns, and goals so we can begin shaping a direction for therapy that feels supportive and meaningful to you.
