About

I’m happy you have taken the first step to healing.

I’m passionate about exploring the mind-body connection to release the hidden wisdom and voice of our nervous systems and bodies. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults of all ages through a person-centered approach which is highly interactive and relationship-oriented.

In addition to my core training, I have received training and supervision in Trauma Recovery, Polyvagal Informed Psychotherapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology. These are the foundations used to help you gain a sense of the mind-body connection, grounding in yourself and in your relationships with others.
