Our world moves at an ever-increasing pace. It can be easy to get caught in the hustle of culture and lose connection to our dreams, our values, our stories, and ultimately, ourselves.  My hope is to offer my clients a space to pause and breathe and a place to rest. I believe healing happens through connection. Our early relationships shape the way we understand ourselves and others, sometimes in ways that continue to influence us long after the original experiences have passed. Through story work and an attachment-based lens, I help clients notice how past patterns may be showing up in the present. Together, we work to reauthor the narratives that have held power and cultivate new pathways that support confidence, clarity, and authentic living. I invite the holistic self, including mind, body, and spirit, into the room.  

Clinically, my therapeutic work in a treatment center for trauma and eating disorders inspired an interest in the biological impact of trauma and how it is coded in the brain and body. I also use creative arts, mindfulness, and somatic-based approaches to promote connection to the embodied experience, regulate the nervous system, and integrate healing in a way that feels grounded and real. 

My own path to this work has been shaped by creativity and movement. As a classically trained pianist and a professional photographer, I have spent much of my life telling stories through sound and imagery, finding beauty and meaning even amidst complexity. Yoga has been an important part of my life for more than fifteen years and completing my RYT-500 training deepened my respect for the mind-body connection.
