I’m an integrative Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist specializing in trauma recovery, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and depression.  I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach that blends body-based and somatic practices with cognitive therapies such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and memory reprocessing. In working with individuals, I focus on supporting emotional insight, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion, helping clients develop tools that foster awareness, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced according to your needs, creating a safe space to explore what lies beneath distress.

I also work with couples using an Imago-informed approach, emphasizing emotional safety, intentional communication, and mutual understanding. Together, partners learn structured tools that reduce reactivity, strengthen trust, and repair after conflict. This approach helps couples uncover not only what they are arguing about, but why certain patterns feel so charged — and how to respond differently. Whether working individually or as a couple, my goal is to support clients in cultivating deeper connection, clarity, and the capacity to respond to life with steadiness and compassion.
