About Me

About

I believe people don’t just need insight into their struggles—they need new ways of responding to them.

Most of the people I work with are not confused about why they feel overwhelmed, angry, disconnected, or stuck in their relationships. They’ve often already spent time thinking about it, talking about it, or trying to push through it on their own. What’s missing is a way to actually change the patterns in real time.

My work focuses on helping people recognize those patterns as they show up and develop practical skills to shift them. This includes emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and the ability to stay present in moments that used to feel overwhelming or reactive.

How I Work

We start by understanding the relational dynamics and internal patterns that are contributing to the difficulties you're experiencing. From there, we move into skill-building—learning and practicing new ways of responding that can actually be used outside of session.

Therapy with me is active and focused. It’s not only about talking through experiences, but also about building the capacity to respond differently in your daily life and relationships.

Change happens through a combination of awareness, practice, and support over time.

My Approach

I am a clinical social worker with training in trauma-informed care and a focus on relational and nervous system patterns. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens in the context of relationship and repeated experience—not just insight alone.

I draw from both traditional clinical approaches and experiential methods, including equine-assisted psychotherapy, when appropriate. These approaches help clients engage with patterns as they happen, rather than only talking about them after the fact.

What You Can Expect

You don’t need to arrive with the right language or a clear plan. We figure that out together.

My role is to help you slow down what feels overwhelming, identify what is happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools that support change in real-life situations. Over time, many people find they feel more steady, more aware of their choices, and more capable in their relationships.

Therapy is not about becoming a different person. It’s about changing the patterns that keep getting in your way so you can respond with more clarity, flexibility, and control.
