As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience, I help adolescents (12+) and adults navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the lasting weight of trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and I'm trained in Brainspotting, integrating music and creative practices when they fit. Sessions with me feel like real conversation, clinically grounded, never clinical-feeling.

You’re doing your best—but parenting can feel heavy. Maybe your child is having big emotions, struggling with anxiety, or acting out in ways that worry you. Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing enough. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with moms and children (ages 3–17) who are navigating the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, life changes, or just the emotional weight of everyday life. Whether your child needs support, or you do (or both), I provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope grows

I see the body as a powerful part of the healing process and a gateway to deeper self-awareness. My approach is grounded in somatic counseling psychology, with a foundation in body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy. I also draw from Kundalini yoga, Jungian dream and shadow work, mindfulness, meditation, regression therapy, ancestral healing practices, and conscious dance movement. I bring these perspectives together in a relational and intuitive approach that makes room for creativity, curiosity, and honest, straightforward guidance.

My work is holistic and integrative, honoring the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit. When working with trauma, I draw from approaches such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Gestalt Parts Work, and Imagery Therapy.
