Feeling misunderstood or carrying the weight of painful experiences can be deeply isolating. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with self-criticism, feelings of unworthiness, and making sense of difficult past experiences. My approach is grounded in deep care, non-judgment, and open-mindedness, helping you uncover patterns, develop self-compassion, and cultivate more fulfilling connections. I hope you leave each session feeling seen, supported, and more accepting of yourself, with new insights that enrich and deepen your sense of vitality.

In our work together, you can expect an authentic, relational experience where we explore the links between past and present to foster greater self-understanding. My practice is rooted in the principles of relational psychodynamic therapy—showing up with courage, engaging genuinely, and investing deeply in your well-being.

I am passionate about this work because I have the privilege of witnessing people heal, grow, and transform. Therapy isn’t just about overcoming suffering—it’s about developing insight, expanding empathy, and ultimately creating a kinder world, starting with yourself. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I work with folks who are open to understanding themselves more deeply and addressing the roots of the pain they are experiencing. I feel honored to witness the work of discovering and shifting patterns of intergenerational trauma. Most clients experience significant changes in the first 1-3 months of work and more profound insights and deep self-compassion with long term work.
