You've probably been carrying something for a long time, maybe so long you've stopped noticing the weight of it. You show up, you manage, you keep going. But something quieter underneath keeps asking to be heard. I work with adults and couples navigating grief, loss, relationship patterns, sexuality and expression, life transitions, and the kind of pain that doesn't have an easy name. Clients are welcome to bring dreams, symbols, and even the stories and characters they love into the work. This is a space where the full truth of who you are is not only welcome, but genuinely held.

There are many reasons people seek therapy. Most likely, you're here because you're feeling out of balance in some aspect of your life. You may be looking for better ways to cope with depression or anxiety, change patterns that lead to unhealthy behaviors or relationships, or heal from a difficult or traumatic experience. Therapy can help you gain insight about yourself, increase your sense of confidence, or help you explore a new life path with courage and intention. My hope is to provide support, tools, and encouragement to help you find greater balance, authenticity, and overall well-being.

As a relational therapist, I believe healing happens through connection. The experiences we carry from our past shape our present, often in ways we don’t intend. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their past, present, and future, make sense of relationship patterns, and gain deeper self-understanding. I am passionate about working with queer people, those in ENM or polyamorous relationships, and couples. My approach is warm, direct, and engaged—I actively participate in the therapy process, helping clients recognize the dynamics that may be keeping them stuck.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, respected, and met with care. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply relational. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. Together, we gently untangle what’s underneath and support meaningful, transformational trauma healing—working not just with insight, but with your nervous system, attachment patterns, and deeper emotional wounds at a pace that feels safe.

You’ve been told you’re too much, but often feel like you aren’t enough. You know what you need to do, but you can't seem to make meaningful change. Many of my clients struggle with things like anxiety, shame, attachment wounds, trauma, or the aftershocks of complex relationships. I work with clients of all ages: younger ones who need extra space for big feelings, adolescents navigating the turbulence of the teenage years, and adults exploring past and current patterns to understand, heal, and grow. I help clients address their current mental health concerns while developing a deeper understanding of themself.

Do you struggle with anxious thoughts, a challenging relationship, or experiences from the past that affect living an authentic, present life with those around you? Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted just getting through the day or have the thought that there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if life could somehow feel better? Now more than ever, people are feeling uncertain, anxious or overwhelmed about managing stress, setting healthy boundaries, or navigating life transitions. Pushing these feelings and experiences to the side can lead to long term issues in your life and how you relate to those around you.

I work with those facing grief, couples preparing for marriage or struggling in relationship, and people navigating major life transitions. Loss can feel isolating, the ache for someone you loved may make the future feel uncertain. Instead of scrolling for quick fixes, I offer a steady, collaborative space where we name what’s happening, explore your experience, and build practical, compassionate ways forward. Together we’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you, balancing psychoeducation, skills you can use between sessions, and the emotional processing that healing requires. My approach is shaped by lived experience.

The path to living the life you want begins where courage and fear meet. When we are low in courage and high in fear we feel unsettled, busied, strained and eventually-void of hope. The thought that life will get better or that we will feel better becomes hijacked by the void. Our day to day begins to feel meaningless. This absence of meaning can be experienced as emptiness, sadness, loneliness, despair and misery. It can also be experienced as restlessness, irritability, avoidance, stomachaches, headaches and illness. These experiences drive our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and behaviors and can lead to mental and physical decline.

As a strength based therapist, I see infinite potential in all of my clients to live fulfilled and meaningful lives. My therapeutic approach is strength based and uses your innate strengths and abilities to determine the most effective solutions. My work is influenced by two modalities. The first is a family centered practice which uses the your unique family of origin “story" to explore, in which ways, that “story” has influenced your life, love and happiness or unhappiness. The second modality is somatic, I have been extensively trained in utilizing the mind/body/breath connection.

The complexities of life can be challenging to navigate on your own. To stay or leave the relationship, resign from work or switch majors, work through grief & loss, or to set boundaries with friends & family, can send our thoughts spinning. Practicing honesty with yourself may feel daunting & in some cases impossible, as it can call for acknowledging uncomfortable situations or feelings in your life. The fear of speaking up can lead to avoidance behaviors such as substance use issues, withdrawal from friends & family, cessation of things you enjoy, mental fog & depression as well as codependency.
