My ideal client is someone who's ready to break free from the weight of life's challenges and who is willing to dig deep and build both resilience and insight as you better your relationships with others. Maybe you're feeling burnt out by current events or relationship struggles. Perhaps you’re tired of pushing through and longing for a safe space to be truly seen and heard. As an attachment-focused therapist, I'll help you understand how past experiences are shaping your present, and together we'll work to build a stronger, more secure sense of self. Let's explore your unique story and unlock your full potential.
I specialize in helping you navigate life’s challenges through a compassionate and evidence-based approach. We’ll work together to recognize underlying patterns & develop practical tools for healing and growth. By exploring your unique story and building a strong therapeutic alliance, we can work towards greater emotional well-being & a more fulfilling life.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming when you're trying to find the right therapist for you. Truly, the hardest part is reaching out. Once you reach out, trust that you will be accepted as you are and supported with whatever challenges you face. If you'd like to learn more about me, visit my website and book a consult today.

If you are interested in working with me and I'm not taking your specific health plan, ask me about superbills and how these could help you afford to take charge of your mental health. Couples coaching is not a medically necessary service and is not covered under insurance; it is private pay only.

Therapy is a collaborative process where you decide what we work on each week. For me, the most important element in therapy is your ability to tell your story on your terms, highlighting it with compassion, honesty, and humor. If you're pretty nerdy (like me), we'll use your nerdy passions to help frame your therapy.

We'll explore the problem & what outcomes you're hoping for. As we foster the therapeutic relationship, we'll have deep conversations about your life, relationships, and emotions through conversation and storytelling. Our goal, together, is not to "fix" you, but rather to accept you as you are and identify how to better your relationship to yourself and others. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
