My website

I work with teens and adults who are looking for a down-to-earth, collaborative space to explore their inner world, identify unhelpful patterns, and feel more connected to themselves. My main areas of focus include trauma, working with the LGBTQIA+ community, existential or life purpose questioning, OCD, spiritual struggles or religious deconstruction, and body image/self-esteem. Sessions with me feel like a genuine, two-way conversation. I believe you are the true expert in your own story; I’m here to act as a grounded sounding board, offer validation, and gently challenge you when it serves your growth.

My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and integrative. Together, we blend deep emotional exploration with practical, actionable tools using EFT, IFS, ACT, CBT and ERP. I also love to create room to breathe, laugh, and bring lightness into the room - even when we're tackling heavy emotions.

Reaching out for support takes courage, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. Having sat in the client chair myself, I know how vulnerable therapy can feel. You don’t have to untangle everything on your own. When you're ready, I would love to walk alongside you, create a safe space for your story, and help you find your way forward.

During our initial session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and what brings you to therapy in a low-pressure, conversational space. We'll explore what's currently feeling heavy, unpack your goals, and take some assessments. After that, together, we'll work collaboratively to untangle old patterns, process emotions, and build tools for your day-to-day life.
