Accepting clients
Updated today

I offer a welcoming, affirming space for clients of all identities and backgrounds—where all parts of you belong, without exception.

I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor and psychotherapist. I specialize in working with adults and couples who are navigating the long-term effects of complex and developmental trauma, disordered eating, dissociation, sexual trauma, and the painful disconnection many feel from their bodies — especially when that disconnection has been shaped by systems like religion, culture, or family. I’m passionate about helping people not just “feel better,” but actually feel again — safely, slowly, and in a way that’s true to them. My work centers the body and nervous system — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation of sustainable emotional and relational healing. In our sessions, we’ll aim to reach deep — but there’s always room for humor, a breath, and a well-timed joke. This is a space where you don’t have to perform or pretend. My goal is to co-create a space where you feel grounded, seen, and actively involved in your own healing. You’ll never be treated like a diagnosis or a problem to fix.
