Where Healing
Finds Its Natural
Alignment

Philosophy

Therapy That Honors the Nervous System

Alignment Arising is built on a simple truth: sustainable change happens in the body first. When the nervous system feels safe, the mind opens — and real work becomes possible.

I integrate somatic awareness, mindfulness-informed approaches, and trauma-sensitive practices into every modality I offer. This isn't therapy that pathologizes struggle; it's therapy that recognizes struggle as the doorway to greater alignment.

Custody Evaluations

Court-Informed. Child-Centered.

Custody evaluations are among the most consequential processes a family can navigate. They require a clinician who is simultaneously rigorous and humane — someone who can hold the complexity of family systems while remaining anchored in the best interests of the child.

I conduct thorough evaluations that include forensic interviews, observational assessment, collateral contacts, and records review. Each evaluation is approached with the seriousness it deserves and the care every family has a right to receive.

My background as both a classroom educator and a licensed therapist gives me a distinct ability to assess how children function across environments — and to speak to that with clarity in court-admissible documentation.
