Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed social worker with over 15+ years of experience helping adults heal from substance abuse, trauma, emotional disturbances, depression, anxiety and behavioral challenges. Many of my clients have done meaningful inner work but still feel stuck in survival mode, emotionally disconnected, or burdened by patterns that no longer serve them. You might be experiencing chronic stress, numbness, irritability or difficulty forming healthy connections. I use Brainspotting, insight-oriented therapy, and core belief work to gently uncover and shift the deeper blocks keeping you from feeling grounded, whole, and connected.

My approach to therapy

I work from an integrative, heart-centered approach blending mindfulness, self-reflection and somatic (body) awareness. Together, we explore not just thoughts but the emotional and embodied layers of your experience, uncovering beliefs and patterns that may block your connection to yourself and others. My aim is to create a space where compassion and insight lead the way, allowing for transformative healing. I honor your unique story and believe in your innate capacity to heal and grow.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you’ll find a space where your truth is honored. On your healing journey, I offer both therapy and coaching to help you reconnect with yourself, deepen your recovery, and find lasting transformation.
