For many people, life can feel like a series of obstacles, and therapy is a way to help you regain control, purpose, and clarity. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space—where you can bring your full self, with all your layers and complexities—to safely explore challenges, dismantle self-limiting beliefs, and gain new insights. Blending creative thinking with flexible approaches, each session is uniquely tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll confront feelings such as anxiety, shame, or self-doubt, helping you discover new possibilities for growth, hope, and resilience, and ultimately find your way forward.
Beyond general mental health issues, I like to guide clients through complex life transitions and shifts—career changes, relocation, aging, divorce, identity shifts—and address unrecognized grief, including losses society rarely recognizes, as well as relationship challenges.
My style is warm yet candid, open to exploring unconventional paths that foster self-discovery and resilience. Through creative expression and practical tools, my practice is grounded in genuine connection and the belief that lasting change emerges when we honor your unique story while building concrete skills to navigate life's challenges.

Therapy with me isn't about a rigid method. We slow down and explore what you've been carrying and the patterns in your life. I offer a non-judgmental presence shaped by training and a fair amount of lived experience. I also work with grief in many forms, including the aging, illness, or loss of a pet—something that isn't always taken seriously, but can be felt as profoundly as any other grief.
