I help individuals and couples heal from trauma, strengthen their relationships, and step out of painful patterns that no longer serve them.
If you've been stuck in the same fights with your partner, cycling through anxiety or depression despite trying everything, or carrying trauma that won't let you move forward—you're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was wired to do. The problem is, those protective patterns that once kept you safe are now keeping you stuck.
My approach is simple: I meet you where you are and use what actually works. That might mean learning practical tools to manage your emotions and communicate better. It might mean processing old wounds that keep showing up in your relationships. Or it might mean accessing deeper healing through evidence based modalities such as brainspotting or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy when traditional therapy hasn't been enough.
A crucial part of this work is integration—the bridge between insight and lasting change. Integration is when we anchor new learning or emotional shifts into your daily life: we translate new perspectives into concrete actions, and build the neural pathways that turn "aha moments" into a way of life. This is how breakthroughs become your new normal instead of fading memories.
Beyond individual therapy, I offer consultation and coaching, and facilitate customized retreats, workshops, and trainings for teams, organizations, and communities. These experiences blend creativity, mental health education, relational skills, and nervous system awareness—supporting both individual growth and collective healing.
I've been married for over 20 years and am the parent of two young adult children. At every level, my mission is the same: to help you reconnect with joy—in your life and in your relationships.
Specialized Training
Brainspotting offers a powerful, gentle way to access trauma held beneath conscious awareness. Rather than relying on retelling the story, Brainspotting works by identifying a relevant “brainspot” in your field of vision that connects with the subcortical brain—where emotional memory is stored. Combined with a safe, attuned presence, this method allows your system to process and release stuck material naturally. Many clients find Brainspotting to be especially helpful when they feel “stuck” in talk therapy or disconnected from the root of their pain.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT offers practical, evidence-based skills for navigating intense emotions, building self-awareness, and improving relationships. Whether we’re exploring mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, or interpersonal effectiveness, these tools help you feel more grounded and empowered in your everyday life.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) In a structured, supportive setting, KAP helps quiet mental noise and open pathways to insight, healing, and emotional release. Ketamine promotes neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to form new connections and loosen the grip of entrenched patterns like depression, anxiety, and trauma. I offer KAP as a deeply integrative process—starting with preparation and followed by body- and mindfulness-based integration to help insights become lasting change.
Yoga-Informed and Mindfulness-Based Therapy As a certified yoga therapist, I bring a trauma-informed understanding of movement, breath, and mindfulness into the therapy room. You won’t be asked to move or access your body in any particular way—but if you're open to it, we can explore practices that gently support your nervous system and deepen your sense of safety and self-trust. These tools can be especially powerful for supporting emotional work and creating space for new patterns to emerge.
