There’s so much healing to do—especially in these times of cultural and political upheaval.

We are born with a deep need to belong: to be seen, held, and loved just as we are. However, when pain takes root early, it can reverberate throughout our lives, straining relationships, disrupting our sense of self, and blurring the clarity we carry within.

Healing begins in the presence of compassion and connection. Even the most loving parents may not have had the resources to nurture our emotional development, leaving us to navigate adulthood alone without the tools for wholeness. In therapy, we create a space to gently tend those early wounds, reclaim emotional maturity, and allow new ways of relating to self, others, and the world to emerge.

I offer a holistic, relational, and body-centered approach to therapy grounded in curiosity and care. My work draws from two decades of experience supporting individuals and groups through trauma, neurodivergence, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use, and the complexities of identity. I especially welcome LGBTQ+, BIPOC, immigrant, and neurodivergent teens and adults seeking deeper healing and authentic connection.

As a certified Brainspotting practitioner, I support clients in attuning to their bodies and intuition to process trauma and reconnect with their true selves. My approach is integrative and transpersonal, tailored to meet each client where they are in their healing journey. I may draw on developmental theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Buddhist psychology, trauma theory, psychoeducation, and somatic practices, always considering what the mind, body, and spirit need to heal. For neurodivergent clients, I bring a social justice lens to enhance the depth and safety of our work together.

My style is warm, relational, and direct. I am deeply committed to anti-oppression practice and to working across cultures, identities, and gender expressions. Healing isn’t just personal—it’s collective and based in community. I believe in creating space for the wisdom, resilience, and transformation that emerge when we’re truly met.

Outside of my therapy practice, I find inspiration in live music, art, gardening, and long bike rides. I’m a dedicated bike commuter and advocate for just, inclusive transportation systems that serve all people.
