If you’ve found yourself feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or the people you love, you’re not alone. Sometimes, even when we understand what we’re feeling intellectually, we struggle to translate that understanding into meaningful change. We may find ourselves caught in familiar patterns, navigating relationships that feel difficult, or trying to find our footing in a season of life that has changed us.

​

My work offers a space to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with yourself and what matters most. I believe meaningful healing happens when we feel seen, supported, and safe enough to explore our experiences with curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll work toward greater emotional steadiness, deeper self-understanding, and more fulfilling relationships.

​

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Candidate and Dance/Movement Psychotherapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have a particular interest in supporting couples longing to feel close again, mothers navigating pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or significant life transitions. Whether your season is joyful, uncertain, heartbreaking, or simply unfamiliar, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

​

An approach that honors both mind and body

​

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-informed practice. I integrate established cognitive and behavioral therapies with relational, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches, tailoring treatment to your unique experiences, developmental needs, and goals.

​

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we can identify the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop practical strategies for change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports psychological flexibility and helps you move toward a life guided by your values, even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. I also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed, or parts-work, approaches to explore the protective patterns and internal conflicts that may shape how you experience yourself and your relationships.

​

As a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, I recognize that our experiences are not held in our thoughts alone. Stress, grief, and past experiences can influence how we respond to others, recognize our needs, and feel in our own bodies. Somatic and mindfulness-based practices can help us notice these patterns, build awareness of our internal experiences, and develop new ways of responding with greater intention and self-compassion. We may explore the emotions beneath your words, the protective strategies you’ve developed, and the relational patterns that no longer serve you.

​

For children and adolescents, I adapt treatment to their developmental stage and individual needs, using creative, play-based, and structured interventions to make therapy engaging and practical. When clinically appropriate, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy incorporating Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), helping young people gradually face fears and reduce compulsive behaviors and avoidance. For children with ADHD, I incorporate structured activities, role-play, mindfulness, and behavioral skills practice to support attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and social functioning.

 

Clinical experience rooted in resilience and connection

​

My clinical experience spans inpatient psychiatric units, homeless shelters, and outpatient settings, where I have supported children, adults, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, suicidality, trauma, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). My background in experiential therapy has also informed my integration of somatic and adventure-based approaches to strengthen resilience, communication, coping, and relational connection.

​

Across these experiences, I’ve come to appreciate the many ways people learn to adapt, protect themselves, and persevere. Rather than viewing these responses as problems to simply eliminate, I approach them with curiosity, recognizing that patterns that once helped us cope may eventually leave us feeling stuck or disconnected. Therapy can help us understand these patterns while building new skills and possibilities for change.

​

Healing at your pace

 

Our work together will be guided by your needs and goals. We’ll make room for the practical work of reducing symptoms, developing coping skills, and improving daily functioning, alongside the deeper work of understanding yourself, navigating relationships, and reconnecting with your values. We won’t rush the process or assume there is one right way to heal.

​

Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone entirely new. It can mean learning to trust yourself, honoring your needs, setting boundaries rooted in self-worth, and responding to life with greater flexibility and clarity. It can mean finding your voice again, feeling more at home in your body, or discovering new ways to connect with the people you love.

​

 

My hope is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, build practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, and create more meaningful, connected ways of living and relating.
