Golden Light Psychotherapy

I believe therapy can be a powerful support through life’s transitions, challenges, and unexpected turns. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or returning, I trust in your ability to create meaningful change, and I’m honored to help facilitate that process. My approach is mind-body focused, attachment-centered, and deeply informed by Somatic Experiencing®. It is also spiritual at its core, grounded in the belief that the answers to your healing already exist within you. Together, we will invite the body to settle, establish new neurological patterns, and lean into the support of the universe and source to illuminate the path ahead. We'll build the capacity to hold both suffering and joy—recognizing pain as a teacher and a gift. I’m most comfortable sitting in the complexity of life, where light and dark coexist, and surrendering to the lessons that unfold along the way. Through the safety of our therapeutic relationship, we can explore your full capacities and nurture your sense of joy and aliveness. I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My career has included nine years as a school social worker and over a decade in private practice as a clinical therapist. This work has been deeply fulfilling, rewarding, and at times, challenging—but I know it is my life’s purpose to walk alongside others on their journeys.
