Great to meet you!

I work with people seeking greater awareness, meaning, self-worth, and connection. Many are recovering from addiction and eating disorders, healing trauma, navigating significant life transitions, or exploring life's deeper spiritual and existential questions. By bringing deep compassion for the full experience of being human and providing an environment of unconditional positive regard, recovery can occur. Rather than directing the process, my role is to help create the conditions in which insight and transformation can emerge.

My approach to therapy

I support people in accessing their deepest levels of self and a richer connection with life by identifying and exploring the core of symptomology. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or analysis, we explore present-moment thoughts, emotions, sensations, and lived experience with curiosity and compassion. Drawing from somatic, parts-based, and depth-oriented approaches, I tailor therapy to the individual rather than a single model. Together, we create a space where trauma can be processed, patterns can be understood, deeper questions can be explored, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and life can emerge.

What you can expect from me

I am fascinated about how we, as human beings, grow and our innate capacity to move towards healing and wholeness, even in the face of deep pain, trauma, and wounding experiences. With compassion and empathy, I work with people to build on their strengths, effectively address challenges, and radically accept our whole selves.
