I provide meaningful support to those seeking positive change, deeper self-understanding, and a desire to live more fully and authentically, in connection with themselves and others. Many of my clients are adults and young couples seeking a calm, relational space to explore life transitions, relationship challenges, meaning, and the influence of early relationships. I am a gentle and curious therapist. I offer a steady, grounded presence in the work, without pressure or an agenda. I bring compassion, honesty, and a quality of stubbornness that I hope is experienced as an unfaltering commitment to your wellbeing and growth.
My approach is relational, calm, and collaborative. I am trained in Internal Family Systems, trauma-informed therapy, psychedelic integration, and I draw on Humanistic and Somatic approaches to offer integrative therapy that is shaped around each client. I bring over 10 years of experience working in universities as an educator, mediator, and career coach.
We will take time to connect, understand who you are, and be curious about the experiences that brought you here. Know that I value safety, non-judgment, and the courage it takes to be open with another. That is why therapy with me moves at the pace of trust. I invite you to connect for a complimentary call to explore what therapy could look like together.

The first step in therapy with me is building connection; we go at the pace of trust. As therapy progresses, we will explore the curiosities that brought you to therapy by normalizing and increasing awareness of your internal experience. This might be sensations or pains you experience, feelings you have, or diverse thoughts you observe. These experiences offer us trailheads to deepen the work.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic, Somatic, and Emotion-Focused Couples therapies, depending on the alignment and interest from you. We will first spend time coming to understand who you are and what you are looking for in therapy. From there, we will explore different approaches to therapy and see if any work for you. The process is collaborative, and you are in control.
