It's easy to find yourself slipping into survival mode and going through the motions. In the blink of an eye, weeks go by, and significant memories seem to fade away. As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in working with adults, families, and couples dealing with complex trauma, grief/loss, depression, chronic illness/pain, relational issues, and spiritual concerns. I am passionate about providing a nurturing space for adults to pause, process, and heal. My prior research revolved around chronic pain patients and strategies for mitigating the daily pain's impact. I support clients in a collaborative format to set goals.

I utilize an integrative model for therapy because each person deserves a unique treatment plan to meet their goals. I integrate elements of somatic therapy to heighten body awareness and foster a more profound mind-body link. Furthermore, I draw inspiration from person-centered, existential, and psychodynamic theories.

I believe emotional well-being holds the same significance as physical health. I aim to create a safe space for you to discuss goals, process pain, and develop deeper self-awareness. I am truly honored to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment for clients. It's a privilege to be a part of your journey towards healing.
