If there’s even the smallest spark of willingness, there’s hope. I believe that as humans, we are complex—emotional, interconnected, and resilient. Within us lives both mystery and perseverance, and often, the invitation to heal is about learning how to reconnect with ourselves from the inside out.

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, located near Santa Barbara, California—the place where my love and respect for depth and somatic work truly began. I’m a Somatic Psychotherapist with a depth orientation, which simply means I help people explore not just their thoughts and emotions, but also how their bodies hold and express their stories. My approach is integrative— a mix of somatic psychology, depth practices, parts work, and other modalities that fit the person in front of me.

The foundation of my work rests on curiosity, acceptance, honesty, humor, and empathy. I believe therapy should feel supportive and challenging in equal measure—a space where you can be real, dig deep, and exhale a little when life feels heavy.

I was born and raised on the East Coast as the youngest of four, which sparked my lifelong fascination with intergenerational patterns and the ways families communicate (and sometimes don’t). That curiosity has become a thread that runs through my work today. Outside the therapy room, you can usually find me pretending to be superheroes with my son and husband, on a surfboard, rock climbing, or weightlifting. Being outdoors and staying connected to play and adventure helps to keep me grounded. And at the heart of it all, I truly love the work I do—helping people wake up to themselves and open up to what else is truly possible.
