I understand that healing is not a linear process, and my primary goal is to meet you exactly where you are in your journey. Whether you are navigating the persistent hum of anxiety, the complexities of relational trauma, or the heavy, often unpredictable waves of loss, I provide a steady, non-judgmental space for us to explore your story.

Grief

I recognize that grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience. There are many types of grief—from the loss of a loved one to the 'disenfranchised grief' of life transitions, the 'ambiguous loss' of a changing relationship, or the collective grief we carry for the world. No matter the shape your loss takes, your experience deserves to be honored and witnessed.

Trauma

In our work with relational trauma, we look at how past experiences may be impacting your current connections and sense of self. Trauma can often leave us feeling disconnected, hyper-vigilant, or stuck in old patterns of protection. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe for you, focusing on rebuilding a sense of internal security and developing the boundaries necessary to foster healthy, authentic relationships in the present.

Anxiety

When working with anxiety, our focus is on moving from a state of 'surviving' to 'thriving.' Anxiety often feels like a constant scanning for threats, but through our work, we will learn to understand your nervous system's responses. We address the racing thoughts and physical tension by building a toolkit of grounding techniques and cognitive shifts, helping you regain a sense of agency and calm in your daily life.

My Approach

Our work together will be deeply values-centered. I utilize a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness to help you stay grounded in the present moment while moving toward what matters most to you. By integrating these evidence-based tools with your core beliefs, we work to build a life that feels authentic, resilient, and whole.

Experience

I bring experience supporting adults and emerging adults through grief, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and other life challenges. My work in private practice has centered on providing trauma informed, compassionate care that helps clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing. I also have experience in crisis counseling and advocacy, including supporting survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence, which deepens my ability to sit with clients through painful, complex experiences with care and steadiness. My approach is grounded in evidence based practices, and shaped by a strong belief in each individual’s resilience and capacity for growth.
