Great to meet you!

I am a trauma therapist specializing in helping young adults navigate overwhelm and intense emotions. My passion for healing started early, from formal study in psychology, massage therapy, and Buddhist teachings. This journey informs my approach, allowing me to create a holistic nurturing space for clients. I’m committed to supporting you as you explore your emotions and experiences, helping you on your path to self-discovery and personal growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach focuses on building a secure attachment between your Self and your parts. I view therapy as a collaborative journey to create new, supportive ways of being that foster personal growth and enhance relationships. I emphasize understanding emotional roots and developing effective coping strategies. By providing a validating and empathetic environment, I encourage exploration of feelings, helping you connect with your authentic self and promote positive change in your life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to gain deep self-awareness and insights into your emotional patterns, along with real-time practice for meaningful change. Our sessions will help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, fostering self-acceptance and emotional regulation. I help you sense into different and more supportive ways of being, focusing on internal transformation rather than just external behavior changes. Together, we’ll embark on a journey of growth and resilience toward a more authentic life.
