I specialize in helping clients navigate sexual trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions, offering a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and alive with curiosity. My work honors both the science of psychotherapy and the wisdom of creativity, spirituality, and the body. Clients often come to me when they’re ready to break old patterns, reclaim their voice, and create relationships—both with themselves and others—that feel authentic and nourishing. If you’re seeking a therapist who will meet you with compassion, honesty, and tools that actually work, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I believe healing happens in the safety of genuine connection. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment theory, weaving together evidence-based psychotherapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to address both the mind and body. I tailor each session to your unique needs—sometimes that means slowing down to create space for difficult emotions, other times it’s building concrete skills for communication, boundaries, and emotional regulation. I draw on creativity, spirituality, and social justice values to honor the fullness of who you are, and I hold an affirmative stance toward the intentional use of psychedelic medicine as part of a holistic healing journey. Together, we’ll work to untangle old patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and create relationships that feel authentic, nourishing, and aligned with your values.

In my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and groups who want to heal from the inside out. I specialize in sexual trauma recovery and relationship growth, guiding clients to understand how past experiences—especially early attachment wounds—impact present-day connections. My approach is collaborative and integrative, combining trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative exploration. I enjoy working with artists, spiritual seekers, and anyone navigating questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. Social justice values and cultural humility are woven into every session, honoring the complexity of each person’s lived experience. I also hold an affirmative stance toward the thoughtful use of psychedelic medicine in healing work, and I welcome conversations about how these tools can complement therapy. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, wanting to break generational patterns, or longing to feel more fully yourself, our work together will be a place to find clarity, connection, and lasting change.
