About me
I’m a certified Integrative Mental Health Professional with a focus in Gestalt Therapy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, identity, and relationships. My approach is heavily rooted in transformational and relational awareness, blending evidence-based mental health practices with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and transpersonal insight.
Relationships are not just about fixing communication or managing conflict. They are about awareness, presence, and how we meet one another in moments of closeness and rupture. You may feel stuck in familiar cycles such as pursue–withdraw dynamics, emotional distance, or a loss of safety and trust. You are likely longing not only for relief, but for transformation that includes personal awareness and responsibility, allowing for a more honest, resilient, and alive way of relating that supports repair, growth, and deeper connection over time.
My work is grounded in Gestalt and relational therapy, with a trauma-informed lens. I help individuals slow down and bring awareness to what is happening, including how attachment patterns and nervous system responses shape connection. Sessions are experiential and collaborative, supporting real-time repair, growth, and meaningful change.
Therapy is a dynamic, shared process where we engage with your experience as it unfolds. I know how powerful it is to be met with understanding, genuine empathy, and honesty. My goal is to help you reconnect with your own wisdom, clarify your path, and build the capacity that fits your life. If this approach speaks to you, please reach out.
