About Me
A Therapist Who Believes in the Power of Deep, Lasting Healing
I'm so glad you're here. Finding the right therapist is one of the most important decisions you can make for yourself — and I don't take that trust lightly.
"Healing is not a destination — it's a way of moving through the world."
My Story
My Story
I became a therapist because I believe that every person carries within them an extraordinary capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. My work is rooted in the conviction that understanding yourself at a deeper level — your history, your patterns, your unconscious mind — is the foundation of lasting change.
I specialize in working with adults, couples, and perinatal people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I bring a warm, curious, and non-judgmental presence to every session, creating a space where you can explore the parts of yourself that feel most tender and most true.
My approach weaves together psychodynamic therapy, hypnotherapy, and mind-body techniques — because I believe that real healing happens when we engage both the thinking mind and the deeper, felt sense of who we are. I don't believe in quick fixes. I believe in the kind of change that transforms how you move through the world.

My Philosophy
How I Work
Psychodynamic Therapy
We explore how your past experiences, unconscious patterns, and relational history shape who you are today — and how they may be keeping you stuck. This depth of understanding creates the foundation for real, lasting change.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy allows us to access the deeper layers of the mind that talk therapy alone may not reach. It's a powerful tool for releasing limiting beliefs, healing trauma, and creating new patterns of thought and behavior.
Mind-Body Healing
The body holds our stories. I integrate somatic awareness, breathwork, and mindfulness to help you reconnect with your body's wisdom and release tension that lives below the level of conscious thought.
Insight-Oriented Work
I believe that insight — truly understanding why you think, feel, and behave the way you do — is transformative. Our work together will help you develop a richer, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
