Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training and certification in trauma treatment. I work from a holistic, somatic, and systemic lens, helping individuals, couples, children, and families heal trauma by addressing the mind-body connection, relational patterns, and intergenerational experiences to support lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I view symptoms not as problems to eliminate, but as meaningful responses shaped by life experiences, relationships, and larger systems. I integrate somatic therapy to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and process trauma in a way that feels safe and paced. Together, we explore individual patterns, relational dynamics, and intergenerational influences, using a range of systemic modalities to support insight, resilience, and lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, you can expect a safe, genuine, and supportive space where we begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship grounded in transparency and honesty. We’ll take time to normalize your emotions, stressors, and life experiences—without judgment or criticism—while moving at a pace that feels right for you. This initial meeting is a place of learning and exploration, where we begin gaining insight into your individual experiences as well as the relational and systemic patterns shaping your life.
