My Ideal Client

I work best with clients who value a relational approach and are curious about exploring their inner experience. My clients often want to understand themselves more deeply and transform patterns at their roots. I work with highly sensitive and neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ clients, and those navigating anxiety, trauma, codependency, relationship challenges, and life transitions. If you're interested in depth psychotherapy, or are dedicated to growth, you're in the right place!

My Background and Approach

I began studying psychotherapy in 2019 with the goal of providing holistic, empowering care that honors the whole person. I completed the two-year Hakomi training at the META Institute in 2021 and earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands in 2023. From 2022–2023, I studied Emotionally Focused Therapy with Dr. Sue Johnson and began working with couples in clinical practice. My approach is relational, collaborative, compassionate, and experiential. I draw from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, humanistic and person-centered therapy, somatic approaches, mindfulness, and neuroscience. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I help clients understand and transform the underlying emotional, relational, and nervous-system patterns that contribute to their struggles. I aim to create a space that is empowering, non-pathologizing, validating, and grounded in both clinical wisdom and scientific research.

Why I Became a Therapist

In 2015, while taking time away from work to recover from an injury, I attended my first 10-day meditation retreat. There, I experienced firsthand the profound connection between mind and body and the healing potential of mindfulness. That experience sparked a deep fascination with psychosomatic processes and the ways relational and psychological healing can transform our lives. In 2019, I began transitioning out of nursing and training in somatic psychotherapy. My years in nursing remain an important part of how I practice, particularly in supporting clients navigating medical systems, medical trauma, chronic illness, and death. Over time, however, I realized that psychotherapy was where I could have the greatest impact on people's long-term wellbeing. I became a therapist because I believe meaningful healing involves the whole person—mind, body, relationships, and nervous system—and that therapy can help people create changes that reach far beyond symptom relief.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Attachment Theory External link

    I believe relationships are central to healing. Drawing from Primary Attachment Therapy, and Integrative Attachment Therapy, we’ll explore your attachment patterns and how past relationships shape the way you connect, protect yourself, and respond to others. Our therapeutic relationship itself can become a place to experience new ways of relating. Whether individually or as a couple, we’ll work toward greater security, connection, and earned secure attachment.

  • Hakomi External link

    I’m a graduate of the META Institute’s two-year Hakomi training and have practiced Hakomi and related mindfulness-based experiential therapies since 2019. I’ve maintained a daily meditation practice since my first 10-day retreat in 2015 and integrate mindfulness into therapy when helpful. My approach is attachment- and trauma-informed, recognizing that mindfulness can be powerful but may also feel vulnerable or activating for some clients. We’ll always adapt practices to your needs and comfort.

  • Emotionally Focused External link

    I began studying Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples with Dr. Sue Johnson in 2022 and have since worked with couples across many relationship structures and identities, including monogamous, polyamorous, queer, trans, non-binary, and asexual couples. In EFT, we identify cycles of disconnection, understand the attachment needs beneath them, and learn to respond with greater openness and effectiveness. Together, we work toward deeper security, intimacy, engagement, and repair.

  • Depth Therapy External link

    I use depth-oriented approaches to explore subconscious material and core patterns beneath present-day struggles. Drawing from Hakomi, Primary and Integrative Attachment Therapy, we use mindfulness, therapeutic relationship, and experiential work to connect present experience with early relationships and unmet needs. Together, we offer compassionate attention to the deepest parts of yourself, including the inner child, creating opportunities for healing, integration, and lasting change.

  • Somatic Therapy (Body Centered) External link

    I’m trained in Hakomi, a somatic-based psychotherapy, and integrate somatic approaches into a holistic understanding of mind, body, emotions, and relationships. In therapy, we may explore bodily sensations, posture, movement, spatial dynamics, and—when appropriate and with consent—touch to deepen self-awareness and support emotional regulation. My somatic work is also informed by polyvagal theory and Somatic Experiencing, helping us understand how the nervous system shapes your experience.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and primary attachment therapy for relationships. I work with couples and partners in monogamous, polyamorous, and other relationship structures to understand and transform patterns of disconnection. Together, we slow down, identify underlying cycles, communicate more effectively, repair relationship injuries, and build greater emotional availability, security, intimacy, and connection. I also work with family and other important relationships

  • PTSD External link

    I work with PTSD and complex PTSD using a gentle, holistic, trauma-informed approach. Drawing from somatic therapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, and nervous-system regulation, we work to understand and transform how trauma affects your body, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My RN background also gives me particular insight into medical trauma and navigating healthcare systems. Whenever possible, I aim for trauma resolution, not just trauma management.

  • Self-Esteem External link

    Low self-esteem can shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I use mindfulness-based experiential and somatic approaches to explore underlying patterns and create opportunities for new emotional experiences. Drawing on principles of neuroplasticity and memory reconsolidation, we work to develop greater self-compassion, inner security, and freedom from longstanding patterns—not simply manage symptoms.

  • Personal Growth External link

    I don’t see therapy as simply the treatment of pathology, but as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Through mindfulness-based experiential and somatic approaches, I help you explore what matters most, deepen your connection with yourself, and move toward greater authenticity and self-compassion. Therapy can support not only healing, but also contentment, resilience, joy, meaningful relationships, and the freedom to pursue a life that feels genuinely your own.

  • Men's Issues External link

    I help men explore the complexity of masculinity and their experiences within a complex changing cultural landscape. Together, we can examine your relationship with power, sex, assertiveness, anger, vulnerability, identity, and connection. I approach men’s personal growth with curiosity, respect, and compassion, recognizing that there is often more beneath the surface. As both a gender-fluid person and a self-identified man, I hope to be an ally as you explore what it means to be yourself.
