Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, perfectionism, or self doubt? Do you feel numb following childbirth or pregnancy loss, unfulfilled as a parent, or burned-out as a helping professional or empath? I support people to heal from attachment wounds and trauma, navigate grief and loss, and soothe anxiety and depression. Caretaking isn’t easy, and often isn’t what you expected. You don’t have to walk this path alone. With support, you can reclaim your authentic self, find joy, and thrive.

My approach to therapy

I apply interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory, and attachment theory to create a gentle, trauma-informed, and evidenced-based healing environment. Using mind-body healing approaches including Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, mindfulness, self compassion, and somatic psychotherapy, we co-create a path towards healing that guides you through releasing old patterns that no longer serve you, cultivate curiosity and kindness towards all parts of you, and step into embodied wholeness.

What you can expect from me

All parts of you are welcome here. I believe love is love, black and brown lives matter, queer, non-binary, and trans rights are human rights, neurodiverse and disabled people matter, and health can exist at every size. I respect and hold space for families and relationships that come in many diverse constellations, and I practice using social justice, reproductive justice, body liberation, decolonizing, and gender expansive lenses.
