I am a social worker with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate trauma and cultivate healing. I began my work in the social work field in the Domestic Violence system in 2014 and have since worked in spaces designed to help those who are homeless, those who live with severe and persistent mental illnesses, those experiencing domestic violence, teens in underfunded and marginalized high schools, and veterans fighting substance abuse in the VA system, amongst others. Since joining Couch Clarity in 2019, I’ve specialized in working with both internal systems—such as nervous system regulation, polyvagal work, family of origin dynamics, parts work, attachment styles—and external systems like couples counseling, family therapy, parenting coaching, blended family therapy, and co-parenting counseling.

I draw from the teachings of leaders in trauma work, including Peter Levine, Bruce Perry, Stephen Porges, Bessel Van der Kolk, Judith Herman, David Emerson, Arielle Schwartz, and Deb Dana amongst many others. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with creativity and compassion to create a space where clients feel safe and empowered to face whatever is bringing them to therapy with confidence.

In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200), and have an MBA focused in leadership development. I incorporate somatic techniques and polyvagal-informed practices into both individual and group settings, offering yoga classes designed to support both adult and youth clients experiencing stress, trauma, or burnout.

I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively to develop practical tools for regulation, connection, and growth. Whether through talk therapy, walk and talk therapy, somatic practices, or systems work, I strive to honor each client’s unique path toward healing.
