Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed therapist with experience supporting individuals through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My work integrates somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and experiential approaches. I focus on helping clients feel safer in their bodies, understand their inner world, and move toward lasting change with compassion and clarity.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and experiential. I integrate somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness to help clients understand their inner world and feel more regulated in their bodies. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where insight, emotional healing, and meaningful change can unfold naturally.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about connection and understanding. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, explore patterns that may be impacting your life, and begin clarifying what meaningful change might look like for you. Clients often leave feeling hopeful, more grounded, and less alone.
