Great to meet you!

As a U.S. Air Force veteran and dedicated therapist, I specialize in trauma and anxiety, holding a Master’s in Counseling and advanced schooling in Nutrition. My practice, Grounded Attunement, is built on the belief that healing is a collaborative, team-based journey that begins with a steady and present connection. I bring a mission-focused yet deeply intuitive perspective to my work, viewing the therapeutic relationship as a partnership where we work side-by-side. My clinical expertise is grounded in Neuropsychotherapy, focusing on how trauma and stress are held within the nervous system. I am certified and trained in evidence-based interventions—including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness—to help you safely process adverse life experiences and return to a state of balanced regulation.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic, neurobiologically-informed approach centered on the principles of Grounded Attunement. Because trauma often lives deep within the nervous system, my style focuses on helping you find your "anchor" while building the self-awareness needed to navigate life’s stressors. By incorporating my advanced schooling in Nutrition alongside Somatic therapy and EMDR, I offer a holistic lens that honors the connection between your physical body and your emotional well-being. My approach is dedicated to empowering you through a therapeutic relationship that is both highly structured and deeply attuned to your unique rhythm. While your healing will come from within, I am honored to provide the steady ground and guidance you need on your path—because it need not be traveled alone.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a calm, comprehensive environment where we begin to function as a team. Our primary goal is to establish a space of safety and grounded attunement where you feel truly seen and heard. We will discuss your history and current challenges—whether you are experiencing anxiety, depressed mood, or the weight of everyday stressors—and begin identifying which evidence-based interventions resonate most with your biology and your goals. You will leave our first meeting with a clearer sense of how we will work together to help you self-regulate, find your steady center, and achieve the lasting change that makes enjoying life possible.
