Starting therapy can feel scary, especially when you're going through a tough time. You might not know where to begin, or what to expect, and that’s completely okay. I understands how overwhelming life can get, especially when you're facing change, trauma, or just feeling stuck. I offer a down-to-earth space where you don’t have to “have it all together.” I take time to build trust and connection, so you feel safe showing up exactly as you are. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, painful past experiences, or just trying to find clarity, I walk alongside you at your pace.

Welcome to my practice. My approach as a therapist is collaborative, blending psychodynamic and client-centered therapies with mindfulness. This foundation allows me to deeply understand and connect with you as a whole person, beyond the surface of the issues at hand. When immediate concerns arise, I am equipped to utilize behavioral and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address acute issues effectively. I view therapy as a shared journey, grounded in mutual trust and openness. Together, we'll delve into your experiences and emotions to foster not only insight but also personal growth and a deeper sense of well-being.

Too often it feels like we "should" do something - or feel pressured by thoughts of what others think of us. Carrying these burdens can feel like abandonment, sadness, worry, shame or being generally overwhelmed. My goal is to help stop this cycle by developing a deeper understanding of your own true feelings. Together, we can build your sense of confidence so you can speak your own truth - ultimately, creating the kind of life, career and relationships you want.

Many of the people I work with come to me during times of stress and uncertainty—feeling lost, on edge, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and their relationships. Some are new mothers navigating shifts in identity, while others are women stretched thin by perfectionism, overachievement, or people-pleasing, often at the expense of their own needs. What they all share is a desire to feel more grounded, establish healthier boundaries, and increase self-awareness. In our work together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, cultivate empowerment, and practice responding from a place of peace rather than urgency.

Many challenges we experience in daily life relate to conflict between parts of ourselves. Each part reflects our body’s own loving attempts to care for us in the ways it knows. When we shift one part of the feedback loop, the whole system rearranges - in our bodies, & in our relationships. My approach to individual & couples therapy is holistic, somatic & client-centered. I start with creating a non-judgmental, inclusive space for you to come as you are. As we form & reach for your goals, our work may include inquiry, nervous system regulation, trauma processing, behavior/communication coaching, movement & creative expression.

Living with food allergies, autoimmune conditions, or a highly sensitive nervous system can make the world feel like an unpredictable and overwhelming place. It often breeds anxiety, demands perfectionism, and teaches you to people-please to stay safe. My work is dedicated to supporting teens and adults navigating these challenges. I provide a relational and psychodynamic space where we can explore the roots of these patterns, including the very real trauma of managing chronic health issues. My approach is eclectic and intuitive, blending science with a touch of the “witchy,” honoring intuition and the mind-body connection.
