Great to meet you!

I have been a licensed mental health clinician for five years, serving diverse adult populations in that time. Much of my work is rooted in trauma-informed theories and somatic (relationship between mind and body) principles. Where change is possible, I love working with clients to help create change. Where circumstances make change difficult or impossible, I love working with clients to help them show up powerfully in their life anyway. In addition, I am in the final stages in my journey to becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). Working with elite athletes as they navigate the unique demands of high-level sport is especially rewarding.

My approach to therapy

A foundation of my work is the belief that my clients already possess what they need to realize their goals. My job is to learn as best I can what it is like to be my client, then join them as we work to remove obstacles that get in the way of their fullest life.

What you can expect from me

My hope is that my clients leave sessions more equipped to handle the challenges they face. I also hope to help clients achieve clarity about their priorities and organize for themselves where they want to put their precious time and energy. Finally, I hope for my clients that they are able to tap into the richness of life and enjoy what makes life most worth living.
