ABOUT
I’m an associate marriage and family therapist and an active breathwork facilitator. I’m also a a reader, writer, and coffee shop enthusiast. Just as I invite you to do so, I aim to bring my whole self into our work together.
As a therapist, I will never claim to know you better than you. I will never tell you I have all the answers. I will ask you about the big stuff without leaving the small stuff behind. I will ask you what you love — and what you hate. I will invite you to show up exactly as you are — completely unfiltered, messy, human.
My approach is a blend of talk therapy, somatic awareness, parts work, EMDR, and a sense of humor to support you as we practice holding what’s here. Occasionally, I’ll weave in embodiment-focused work (mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle movement.) Honoring the innate wisdom of our bodies means creating safety in the nervous system before diving deeper, making sure we’re safe and steady enough to answer the call.
Outside of session, you’d find me scribbling my thoughts, acquiring another ceramic mug, and obsessing over my Goldendoodle, Harold.
I’m glad you’re here.

In 2018, one of my favorite yoga teachers began to cue, “Soften where you can.”
She didn’t just intend for it to be physical, but rather a mental, emotional, and spiritual softening. The notion that I could soften was a refuge — I had been so rigid. So controlled. What I really needed, in all the spheres of my life, was to unfurl my grip. Softening became the most important work — softening the edges of my thoughts, melting physical rigidity, rounding sharp narratives, and tending to emotional wounds.
To me, therapy is a form of softening. Breathwork is a form of softening. Having the courage to sit with the hard questions — and the spaces in between is the act of softening. I’m happy you’re here. And whether it’s in our work together, or elsewhere, I hope you find softness.
