Many of the people I work with are navigating inner turmoil, life transitions, or the lasting impact of past trauma. Others are finding it hard to connect in their relationships with friends, coworkers, or loved ones. Do you feel overwhelmed, unsettled, or pulled in too many directions? Maybe you're feeling anxious, stuck, or weighed down by something you can’t quite name. Trying to process emotional pain or relationship struggles on your own can feel isolating and exhausting. My role is to support you in exploring what has often felt too heavy or overwhelming.
I have extensive experience working with kids 12+, individuals, couples, and family dynamics. My goal is to build a supportive connection with those I work with, one grounded in empathy and acceptance. Once folks feel truly heard, lasting change can start to happen, both in session and in your everyday life.
Therapy tends to work best when you have a clear sense of what to expect and feel comfortable with the process. I deeply value taking the time to build trust and understanding from the very beginning. If you have any questions about how I work or just want to see if we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out. Accepting new clients.

At the heart of my approach to therapy, I collaborate with you to create a relationship where you feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself. We will often explore how you feel emotionally, cognitively, somatically, and how your experiences interact with your sense of self, others, and the world around you. Working with your experience often fosters the positive changes you want in your life.
