Life often calls us into times of change, loss, or conflict that can feel overwhelming. In these moments, therapy offers a grounded space to sort through what’s happening, find your bearings, and reconnect with your authenticty. I work with individuals from all walks of life navigating life's challenges (and opportunities), helping them explore meaning, restore balance, and move toward healing and wholeness. My approach draws from depth psychology, experiential therapies, and creative modalities. These frameworks allow us to look beneath surface struggles, uncover the roots of distress, and work with the patterns that hold you back.
Together, we invite awareness, compassion, and new possibilities for change. Whether we’re working with painful emotions, old patterns, or the challenges of relationships, I support you in finding and trusting yourself. I bring not only professional training but also decades of experience in many roles walking alongside people in their growth and healing.
You don’t have to navigate this alone - in fact, it's best not to. Reaching out for support is a solid first step. I will meet you with care, honesty, and respect for your unique experience. Together, we will explore what matters most to you and co-create space for discovery, understanding, healing, growth, and renewal in your personal and relational life.

I show up in a highly compassionate and relational manner, more as a mentor/guide than a "therapist". My objective and core intention is to ultimately empower you to develop the self-awareness, knowledge, tools, and skills to become your own lifelong therapist. I draw from a wide variety of theories and resources, excluding nothing that could assist clients in making meaning of their experience.
