As a therapist, I believe healing begins with feeling truly
seen, safe, and supported. I work with first responders, individuals navigating
perinatal mental health challenges, and adults carrying the weight of early
childhood trauma, PTSD, grief, and loss. My approach is grounded in the
understanding that our nervous systems are shaped by both the burdens we’ve
carried and the strengths that have helped us survive. Through the lens of
polyvagal theory, I help clients tune into the cues of their bodies, reconnect
with a sense of regulation, and cultivate states of safety, groundedness, and
genuine ease.

For first responders and frontline professionals, I honor the
complexity of your work—the vigilance, the impact of repeated exposure to
crisis, and the often-unspoken emotional toll. Together, we work to create
conditions where your system can settle, decompress, and find room to breathe
again.

For parents, birthing individuals, and those in the perinatal
period, I offer a compassionate space to explore the joys, fears, identity
shifts, and sometimes unexpected emotional storms that accompany building a
family. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or
grief, you do not have to navigate this alone.

For those shaped by early childhood trauma, I know that safety
can feel unfamiliar. I move at your pace, supporting you in developing a felt
sense of comfort and stability, building the capacity to regulate overwhelming
emotions, and rewriting patterns that no longer serve you.
