I take a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach to therapy, meeting you where you are and helping you reconnect with your core values and life goals. I work with adults navigating difficult emotions, life transitions, and the impact of trauma, offering practical, evidence-based tools to create meaningful change. I also have specialized awareness of the unique challenges older adults may face, including aging, loss, and grief.

In a world full of noise, expectations, and constant pressure, finding a space where you can just breathe and be truly understood is incredibly rare. If you are tired of being told who to be or how to think, welcome. My approach to therapy is built on a simple foundation: you deserve to be deeply heard, respected, and met exactly where you are without judgment. As Carl Rogers beautifully put it, when someone really hears you without trying to mold you, "it feels damn good." Together, we will create that rare space where you can simply exist, heal, and find your own way forward.

Change is not always easy and it often requires effort. However, change does not have to be made alone. It's important that you have someone to listen, validate, support, and, at times, challenge you. My therapy style is primarily Internal Family Systems (IFS), but I also utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Of course, humor and compassion are also large parts of my practice to support creating a safe, welcoming and judgement free zone.

I work with individuals, couples, and families – young adults, adults, and older adults – facing trauma/PTSD, stress, and relationship issues, as well as anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and self-worth challenges. Many come to me feeling like something is off, whether in their relationships, their mind, or their body, and unsure how to move forward. I've spent nearly a decade walking alongside people in difficult moments, first as an advocate and crisis counselor for at-risk youth and families, and now as a licensed therapist, helping clients find their footing again.

If you are feeling stuck in patterns of disordered eating, weighed down by unresolved trauma, or struggling to make peace with your body, you’re not alone. The ways we learn to protect ourselves are often creative, resourceful, and deeply human, even when they start to feel more painful than protective.
Our work is about approaching those patterns with curiosity and care honoring the role they’ve played in keeping you safe. By slowly rebuilding trust with your body and tuning in to its signals, it becomes possible to feel more grounded, reconnect with the world around you, and experience a deeper sense of freedom in yourself.

You don't need another person telling you to "just practice self-care." You need someone who can help you make sense of what's happening, figure out what's keeping you stuck, and develop a plan that actually works in real life.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, burnout, or emotions that seem to take over your day.

Maybe you're tired of overthinking everything, repeating the same patterns, or feeling like you "should" have it all figured out by now.
