You're seeking therapy because you feel stuck and are longing for a sense of hope and relief. Maybe you're navigating a major life change, coming to terms with trauma, feeling held back by negative self-image, or finding it difficult to move through conflict with the people you love. Whatever has brought you here, my role is to empower and support you in making sense of the path forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating issues such as life transitions, addictions, codependency, identity issues, neurodivergence, burnout, complex trauma, and personality disorders.
My approach is to be warm, compassionate, authentic, relatable, and direct. We will work collaboratively to understand the roots of your struggle and restore your sense of empowerment. I believe therapy is about more than just talking, why is why I incorporate somatic techniques such as brainspotting to promote mind/body wholeness.
I admire the courage it takes to reach out for help, especially in a society that emphasizes self-reliance. As a social worker, I serve as both therapist and advocate, centering your autonomy and self-determination in our work together. Regardless of your cultural background or belief system, I invite you to reach out and explore working together.

While I incorporate tools and techniques from various modalities, my approach is primarily person-centered and humanistic, rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I emphasize autonomy, authenticity, and self-empowerment, while also recognizing that early survival strategies and entrenched patterns may require deeper, insight-oriented exploration and support.
