I support teens, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and relationship struggles. Using a body-based, trauma-informed approach rooted in somatic work, attachment theory, and dream work, I help you feel grounded and understood, honoring your cultural identity. Together, we'll build nervous system regulation and lasting connection.
My path to this work blends clinical training, specialized trauma and somatic credentials, and years of experience across diverse mental health settings. With state-endorsed training in childhood development, trauma-informed and somatic therapy certifications, and additional training in DBT, ACT, CBT and attachment-focused approaches, I bring a body-based lens to healing. I've walked alongside infants, children, teens, adults, and families, including adoption-related work, IOP care, and leadership in substance-use treatment. Wherever you're starting from, I create a safe, collaborative space that honors your own pace and story. Together, we'll build emotional regulation, deeper self-trust, and lasting resilience far beyond our sessions. I see continuing education as part of showing up fully for my clients, not just a requirement to check off. I regularly pursue trainings in somatic therapy, trauma treatment, attachment work, and nervous system regulation, staying current with research that deepens how I understand healing in the body and mind. I also seek consultation and peer supervision, learning from other clinicians experiences and blind spots. Beyond formal training, I stay curious through reading, workshops, and reflecting on what helps clients feel safer and more connected. Growth is ongoing for me, just as it is for the people I work with, and I try to model the same openness, humility, and willingness to keep learning that I hope to cultivate in the therapy room.
Working with me feels collaborative, warm, and paced to what your nervous system can hold. I won't rush your process or expect you to have the right words. We'll slow down together, noticing how stress and emotion show up in your body, not just your thoughts. I bring somatic, trauma-informed, and attachment-based tools, but the relationship itself is the foundation, safety and trust come first. I also honor your cultural and personal identity throughout our work. You can expect honesty, curiosity, and space to be fully yourself, without judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again, one conversation and one small step at a time.
