Therapy can help us to connect with ourselves and others. In our sessions, we work together to find meaning, joy, love, acceptance, playfulness, and peace of mind.

If you are stuck, struggling, or recovering from trauma, therapy can create a safe space to work through difficult emotions and experiences in order to live better and feel better. I value creativity, compassion and collaboration. My approach is drawn from attachment theory, narrative therapy, trauma-informed somatic therapies, mindful self-compassion, and relational therapy.
I have specific training in trauma-informed and narrative approaches, EFT and Gottman couple therapy, and family therapy, including play and art therapy and attachment-focused family therapy. As a registered Circle of Security facilitator I can help parents or guardians provide emotional security for their children.
