Too much of the time, asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems we are facing, and finding the right therapist can feel like you’re flipping through a ‘Where’s Waldo’ book. I believe that we all share a universal need for safety, autonomy, belonging, and purpose and that we are not meant to walk alone. Whether you are seeking to process trauma, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, or find ways to better handle daily stress, it would be my privilege to walk alongside you.
Because each person’s journey is unique, I tailor my approach to honor your goals and experiences. Using psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, we will draw connections between current and past experiences and identify common patterns in one’s thoughts, experiences, and relationships.
I invite you to collaborate with me as we explore why/how we show up the way we do, and examine inner conflicts as a way to alleviate distress and improve relationships. I am committed to helping you achieve mental wellness and personal growth, and I invite you to reach out when you're ready.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with the impacts of complex trauma or crippling anxiety stemming from early attachment wounds. During our initial session, you will have space to share where you've been and where you hope to go with therapy. We will collaborate on therapeutic approaches that would best serve your individual needs and begin building a space that is tailored for you.

Foundationally, I work through a psychodynamic lens to gain insight into how your life experiences have impacted you and informed your current concerns. I approach the therapeutic relationship with humanistic principles that are depth-oriented and utilize experiential meaning-making. This is often facilitated through use of psychoeducation and narrative, somatic, and creative-expressive work.
