Great to meet you!

Clients often come to me feeling “stuck” between wanting closeness and needing protection. Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing—it’s about understanding your patterns, restoring internal trust, and creating more ease in how you relate to yourself and others. I hold space for the full range of your story- both the pain and the strength. I see therapy as a co-created space where we untangle survival strategies that no longer serve you. I'm rooted in the depth of soul-work, exploration, and mind-body principles. Are you ready to make a decision that can change your life? Your story isn't finished, it's about to get powerful!

My approach to therapy

My specialty is working with teens (13+), adults, and couples navigating deep emotional wounds, complex childhoods, chronic pain, different-abilities(disability), and the challenges of military or high-stress lifestyles, blended family dynamics, and relationships. I am trained in EMDR for trauma-processing and the Gottman Method to enrich relationships.

What you can expect from me

My practice—Lineage Wellness—is rooted in the belief that healing is not just about feeling better; it’s about reclaiming your relationship with yourself, your body, and your boundaries. You can expect depth, internal reflection, and practical support that honors your full being. I'm ready to help you turn your pain into purpose! Let's talk..
