My Approach to Helping

Sometimes life shatters us, and we have to pick up the pieces and figure out who we are all over again. Whether you are grieving a loss, facing a new diagnosis, celebrating a birth, or figuring out who you want to become, I am ready to help you heal and transform. With curiosity and compassion, I will help you identify strengths, tap into courage, and develop resilience. I will always see you as the expert on your life, your body, and your experiences. I believe that, beneath any fear or doubt, you know where you want to go. I will help you get there. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

As an integrative therapist, it is my responsibility to meet you where you are, and to offer you support and tools that help you feel better. My style is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in decades of somatic work. I will help you rewrite the story of your life through language, play, and embodied awareness.

Our work will happen within the safety of the relationship we create together. I believe a healthy, authentic connection is a vital component of successful therapy, and I welcome your questions about my practice. Please contact me for a free consultation–I look forward to meeting you so that we can see if we’re a good fit.
