“Some wounds are invisible—quietly stitched into the fabric of who we are—and most deeply felt in the spaces where love and safety should have lived.”

I understand this not just as a therapist, but as someone who has walked through her own healing journey. I’ve experienced the life-giving difference that a compassionate, trained counselor can make when you’re trying to find your footing again. Now, as a clinical therapist, I offer more than just a witness to your pain—I offer with-ness. I don’t believe anyone should have to navigate their healing alone.

In our work together, we can process the parts of your story that still hold weight—so you can begin to feel lighter, freer, and more connected to who you were created to be. My approach is holistic, tending not only to the mind but also the heart and body. I draw from body-oriented interventions (including polyvagal-informed practices), sand and art therapies, trauma-informed models, and attachment-based work.

I specialize in supporting individuals with complex PTSD, grief and loss, childhood trauma, father/mother wounds, betrayal trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, insecure attachments, and issues surrounding adoption, international marriage, and blended families. I also work with couples who are navigating disconnection, wounds, and repair.

Wherever you find yourself—whether surviving, stuck, or seeking something more—I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and thriving.
