Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in somatic (body-based) therapy for adults with anxiety, trauma, and/or relationship issues. I am passionate about helping people navigate shame and stigma related to sexual health, body image, and identity. I love to offer outdoor walk & talk sessions and nature-based experiential therapy as well as in-office or virtual visits.

My approach to therapy

I have found that talk therapy can be unhelpful if we don't weave in your body's experience. My approach combines evidence-based neuroscience with an intuitive and holistic view of healing that bridges mind, body, and spirit. My style is curious, warm, and transparent, helping you find relief in what feels supportive and growth in what challenges you.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing happens when unprocessed pain, trauma, and emotion can move through the body (and brain) to completion. Regardless of your therapeutic goals, our work will involve deep attunement to your nervous system, compassion for whatever expression finds the surface, and a patient pace that honors and welcomes all the nuances of your unique Self. After sessions with me, clients report feeling heard, more calm and grounded, kinder toward themselves, and more hopeful about the future.
