Grounded guidance and trauma-informed clinical care meeting you wherever you are.

I've experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to move beyond the patterns, beliefs, and challenges that keep us from becoming who we're capable of being. My own journey taught me that healing isn't about perfection or simply leaving the past behind—it's about developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, recognizing what no longer serves us, and discovering new ways to move forward.
That journey transformed the way I see growth and healing, and it's why I believe meaningful change is possible for all of us. I'm here to offer the support, insight, and tools that helped me along my own journey, so you can uncover what's possible and create meaningful change in yours.

"Sometimes you don't need someone to fix you—you need someone who truly sees you."
Life can feel a lot like a puzzle. We may have many of the pieces, yet still struggle to see where they fit or notice the one that seems to be missing. Sometimes, all we need is another set of eyes to help us see the picture differently.
With more than a decade of experience, I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy rooted in a whole-person approach. Whether you're navigating trauma, mental health challenges, caregiving, loss, or a major life transition, I'll meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you gain insight, discover new possibilities, and find the pieces that help you move forward.
A Trauma-Informed Path, Built Around the Whole You.
More than managing symptoms — a path back to wholeness.
You may know something isn't fitting, but it can be hard to see where things connect on your own. Therapy gives you space to slow down, step back, and look at the bigger picture — so the pieces can start to make sense again.
At Northern Rising, we believe healing begins with understanding—not judgment. We create a warm, safe, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Our approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based therapeutic practices alongside mindfulness, somatic awareness, and mind-body approaches. We consider not only what is happening in your thoughts and emotions, but how your experiences may show up in your body, relationships, sense of self, and everyday life.
"You bring the story. We bring curiosity, clinical experience, and another set of eyes. Together, we can look at the pieces, find new connections, and work toward a life that feels more whole, grounded, and authentically yours."
