Are you feeling stuck in your relationships or questioning the direction of your life? Perhaps you’re navigating obstacles in co-parenting, considering divorce, or exploring the complexities of intimacy and identity. Together, we can untangle the patterns that hold you back. Whether you’re creative, curious, or simply seeking deeper understanding, you don’t have to face these struggles alone. Clients come to me describing struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, or a lingering sense of feeling misunderstood and dissatisfaction or unfulfillment in their lives. Whether it’s a specific challenge or seeking deeper insight, I’m here.

I treat anxiety, life transitions and self esteem issues, especially those stemming from relationship struggles and past family dynamics. Using my background in attachment, psychodynamic, ACT and other theories, I cater the therapy to your specific needs. My approach is holistic and I value inclusivity and centering your unique experiences.

Clients describe me as warm, well-humored, nurturing and attentive. I also help adults navigating next chapter dating, family estrangement, post psychedelic therapy integration and recovery from narcissistic abuse. I pride myself in a collaborative approach and making therapy safe and accessible. Please reach out for a free consultation to learn more.
