hey there!


INTEGRATIVE TRAUMA THERAPIST

I believe in the transformational power of connection and relationship—I also know firsthand that both of these can be difficult for survivors of trauma.

Driven by a desire to break the cycles of abuse and neglect in my own family, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching others how to do the same. 

My personal journey through complex trauma and healing has fostered a deep sense of compassion and empathy for those facing similar challenges. For many years, I searched for freedom from low self-worth, shame, anxiety, and depression, and it’s inspired me to support others on this healing path.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (IN) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I started this practice to help survivors access the integrated somatic and psychodynamic modalities needed to truly heal trauma.
