I welcome and affirm clients of all identities and backgrounds in my practice. I specialize in trauma informed mind/body interventions.

I look forward to meeting you. I use a mix of modalities to support the process of untangling habitual emotional and behavioral patterns that stand in your way of leading a full and meaningful life. I have practiced in a range of treatment settings from intensive inpatient clinics to my current private practice.
