About me

I am a solutions-focused therapist who helps children, teens, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions using emerging neuroscience, music, sound, and body-mind techniques. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, focusing on action, guidance, and experiential reprocessing to help clients restructure thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I provide solutions-focused therapy for children (ages 8+), teens, and adults, helping clients overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, using EMDR, Brainspotting, and body-mind techniques to help clients reprocess trauma, restructure patterns, and build practical skills in real time. I integrate music, sound, and creative approaches to engage both mind and body, creating a deeper, more experiential healing process informed by emerging neuroscience and trauma neurobiology research.

I am located at Lakeview in the Historic Northern Pacific Center, a beautiful and inspiring space designed to support reflection and growth. My office features large windows overlooking a serene courtyard, allowing clients to connect with the outdoors while indoors. This environment enhances my sensory and somatic therapy techniques, helping clients feel grounded, centered, and supported as they process emotions and build resilience.

I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, develop actionable strategies, and practice skills that create lasting change. I especially enjoy supporting adolescents, children, and adults navigating school, work, relationships, and life transitions. My sessions are warm, guided, and results-oriented, providing a safe space where clients feel heard, empowered, and ready to transform challenges into growth.
