I support my clients in cultivating resilience, authenticity, and increased capacity for choice in life’s tough moments.
Whether you’re feeling caught in old patterns or facing new challenges, therapy is a place to explore the waves of life and how they manifest in our thoughts, feelings, and physicality.
I offer you time to slow down, and support to navigate what comes next.
I’m currently welcoming new clients for individual therapy.
I offer a free 20 minute consult call so we can both assess
whether we're a good fit.
I'd love to hear from you.
I support clients through a variety of challenges, including
life transitions
relationship challenges
anxiety & panic
depression
trauma
stress
illness and dis-ease
my approach
If you’re anything like me, you’re looking for someone to really listen. Embodied relational therapy acknowledges that we're meeting as two humans, each with beating hearts and active nervous systems. I’ve learned to listen and respond with my whole body, and work relationally by incorporating our here-and-now process into our work.
My approach is rooted in gestalt psychotherapy. Gestalt therapy follows a health-affirming model: everything we do is in the interest of self-regulation and maintaining meaningful relationships with those around us. We are always doing the best we can with the support we have. Rather than focusing on what could be, I’ll invite you to stay with what is. I’ve learned in my own life that change happens organically once I accept things as they are. Nurturing this awareness and acceptance requires care and support — it’s not work you have to do alone.
I integrate theories from yoga, meditation, and other embodiment practices, as well as developmental psychology and attachment theories, mindfulness principles, and client-centered modalities. My approach is non-hierarchical, non-pathologizing, and trauma-informed. I meet my clients with warmth and humility.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
