Let’s Get Clinical

I am passionate about trauma-informed care and believe that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I tailor my work to honor the diverse needs, identities, and lived experiences of each client.

My approach draws from feminist, attachment-based, and emotion-focused frameworks, and integrates parts work, EMDR, mindfulness, somatic practices, and acceptance and commitment therapy. While I use these modalities, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is our most important tool.

My clinical work focuses on supporting adults navigating complex childhood trauma, relational trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, grief, and loss. I especially enjoy working with high-functioning adults who grew up in chaotic or neglectful homes and are learning how to reconnect with their emotions, feel safer in their bodies, and discover they don’t have to carry everything alone.

Let’s get personal

I love stories—whether it’s yours, writing them, reading them, or watching them unfold on screen. Storytelling and meaning-making are central to how I experience the world.

I strive to live out the values of my private practice in my everyday life. Embodiment shows up through walks on the trail near my house and practicing mindfulness in small, ordinary moments like lingering with a cup of coffee. Community matters deeply to me, and I nurture it by attending a writers group and by hosting dinners and themed nights for family and friends. I even plan on auditioning for my community choir soon.

In my free time, you’ll often find me singing, reading magical realism and speculative fiction, creative writing, cooking with my husband or making up songs about our daughter and cats. I’m a sucker for a creative outlet and affectionately refer to my craft closet as my “hobby graveyard.” Name a craft and I’ve probably tried it—at least once.
