Therapist

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. My approach combines somatic interventions with evidence-based cognitive methods to process stored stress, address root causes, and restore emotional regulation. Having worked extensively in dual-diagnosis settings and private practice, I understand how deeply unaddressed trauma drives secondary coping behaviors. In our work together, you can expect an active partnership, direct feedback, and a compassionate space tailored to your pace as we build strategies for lasting change.
