Psychotherapy
Individual Therapy
Healing Begins by Listening
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy offers a place to pause, reflect, and begin moving toward meaningful change. I provide individual psychotherapy for adults in a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore what is weighing on your heart and mind.
With more than 15 years of experience as a licensed therapist and board-certified music therapist, including several years specializing in complex trauma, my practice now focuses on nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and helping clients navigate life's challenges with greater balance, self-trust, and well-being.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy while honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from somatic and music therapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, and neuroscience, I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and goals. If you're seeking symptom relief, greater self-understanding, or a deeper sense of balance, our work together will be guided by your pace and what feels most supportive to you.
