I am a Licensed Social Worker who believes each of us has the innate capacity to heal and grow. Therapy is a collaborative partnership, and I strive to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and supportive as you navigate change.

I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma for Adolescents (ITCT-A), psychodynamic psychotherapy, grief work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, helping clients understand patterns rooted in the past while building practical tools for the present.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, complex trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and life transitions. Together, we honor both the wisdom of the body and your innate resilience, creating meaningful and sustainable growth.
