It's 2026: when you look at your life, do you wonder, "how did I get here?!" Maybe you and your partner(s) are fighting or drifting apart. Maybe your racing mind keeps you from sleeping, concentrating or enjoying hobbies. Or maybe you are so worn out, it is hard to manage your daily responsibilities. Maybe you are wandering in the fog of grief and loss, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of a big life transition. Perhaps you are struggling to care for children or aging parents. Or you might be longing to more fully embrace your LGBTQIA+ identity. Maybe you are just looking for a fresh perspective on making a meaningful life.
If any of these feels true for you, I'd love to work with you to explore what's going right, what's going wrong, and how you can use your innate strength and wisdom to bring meaningful change to your life and relationships. I am a client-focused therapist who lets you set the goals of your own therapy.
Whether you prefer to meet in-person or online, I look forward to creating a therapeutic environment in which you feel safe, seen, heard and known.

I often use Gottman Method and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques when working with couples, triads, and polycules. In your first relational session, I'll invite you to tell me about your relationship(s), and we'll decide together where to focus. When working with individuals, I often use an Experiential framework that emphasizes therapy as a safe place for you to freely express yourself.
