Healing is a journey that I am fortunate to participate in, to witness, and to experience.

My work focuses on helping clients reduce suffering, improve relationships to self and others, and to connect more deeply to vitality. It is my priority to create a non-judgmental and empowering space for clients, and I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet clients where they are on their journey.

As a therapist, I understand the value in a top-down approach to healing- starting with thoughts and meaning as a way to influence behavior. As a Somatic Experiencing intermediate level student, I have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of the body and this “bottom-up” approach that starts with the nervous system.

I have over 6 years of experience working in an outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy setting and know that DBT and CBT can be extremely powerful for self-regulation and creating a "life worth living." I also know that Somatic Experiencing can help us live and move in a more embodied way. In addition, the therapeutic relationship is an incredible tool for relational healing- providing a space where we can renegotiate how we relate to ourselves and others.
