Our past has a way of showing up in the present—shaping how we think, feel, and navigate the world. Sometimes, these patterns help us, but other times, they hold us back in ways we don’t even realize. Whether it's relationships, career struggles, or personal growth, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns come from, understand their impact, and create meaningful change. Therapy is a space for insight, healing, and transformation, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s turn those echoes of the past into wisdom for your future.

Healing does not have to happen in isolation. However, many of us are unfortunately taught that we have to manage our struggles alone. As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens through connection—with ourselves, with others, and with the emotions and experiences that shape us. Sometimes, our lived experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from our emotions, our bodies, and each other, making it hard to know where to begin. I aim to offer a chance to start untangling those threads in a space that feels safe, compassionate, and affirming to your identity and story.

Navigating family life, sport, and academics plunged me into challenges that felt debilitating at the time. These experiences and the people I met along the way made me fall in love with our shared capacity for growth. Humans (even when we’re not aware of it!) have immense resilience. It is my goal to help you tap into yours and levy your unique strengths to cope with whichever challenge you currently face. Please note, I have lived experience with generalized anxiety, depression, Binge Eating Disorder, and exercise bulimia.
