About me

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. We are complex beings, more than our symptoms, and true wellness often requires addressing the whole system. I believe the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected in the therapy process. As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in holistic health and yoga, I use an integrated, non-judgmental and collaborative approach, working with the unique needs and strengths of each individual. Whether working with kids or adults, I prioritize establishing a safe and supportive environment, as feeling safe is critical to processing and healing at any level.

While I work with individuals across the lifespan experiencing various symptoms, I work most often with individuals experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and mood disorders, often stemming the from trauma. I specialize in trauma therapy, with additional training in EMDR and certification in TF-CBT. I have extensive training in play therapy, working with children and teens that are experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.

I draw from a range of therapeutic methods including mindfulness-based techniques, expressive therapies (like art or play), and evidence-based modalities. My work is rooted in attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and strengths-based practices that help individuals regain their sense of wholeness.
