I am passionate about holistic, trauma-focused, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that honors the mind, body, and spirit. I work from the belief that people are inherently whole—and that healing requires addressing every part of that wholeness. My own lived experiences inform my depth, empathy, and presence as a therapist. It is an honor to hold space for clients who are healing personal and generational trauma, and to support those wanting relief from symptoms that feel like they’ve taken the metaphorical driver’s seat. Together, we create a brave space grounded in compassion and person-centered care.

Safe spaces have become an important focus in mental health and beyond—and for good reason. As a trauma-focused therapist, I honor the need for safety, and I also invite you to go a step further: into a brave space. This is the space just outside your comfort zone, where uncertainty and curiosity meets growth and where meaningful healing can take root. Therapy is brave work. It asks for mindful, intentional practices and a willingness to question the beliefs and narratives that no longer serve you. 

I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and identities, and often work with individuals who identify as women or non-binary—including mothers, healthcare professionals, people living with chronic illnesses, and those navigating single-incident trauma, complex trauma, or developmental (childhood) trauma. I also deeply enjoy working with neurodiverse individuals, including those with ADHD or Autism.

My therapeutic approach integrates brain-based and somatic modalities such as Brainspotting and mindfulness with cognitive approaches like CBT and parts work, creating a flexible yet structured framework tailored to each person. In the therapeutic space, I encourage humor, tears, curse words, creativity, and will always agree to look at a picture of your pet or say hello to them via Telehealth. 

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in spending time with my family, including my four dogs and four cats, who bring a sprinkle of chaos, a dash of adventure, but mostly warmth and love. When it's time for rest, I can be found binging Netflix and enjoying chocolate. I feel at peace in nature, whether it’s a mindful walk or an adventurous trail. Traveling brings me a sense of exploration and curiosity, giving me privileged opportunities to experience new places, people, and cultures. This recipe helps me bring a  balanced presence to my work with clients.
