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 anxiety stemming from early attachment figures. During our initial sessions, we will explore past experiences, attachment styles, and current relational difficulties. We will collaborate to create treatment goals, foster a sense of belonging and purpose, and a plan to cultivate healing.
