We are wired for connection — with our internal selves, with others, and within broader communities. But oftentimes there are barriers. It can be something we learned when we were small and trying to survive, a challenging message or "should" from the world around us, or a loss we struggle to understand. Many of us seek therapy to better know who we are and what we want, and be able to communicate that understanding to those around us. Whatever brings you to therapy, your awareness of seeking someone to walk with you on this healing path is a great first step!
I care about therapy being a nonjudgmental space where clients can comfortably “try on” new ways of being to see what fits. I hold a "take what you want and leave the rest" approach to what therapy tools work best for my clients. I’m skilled at working with anxiety, sudden loss and grief, relationship issues, childhood trauma, and life transitions.
My style is welcoming, collaborative, and, when appropriate, humorous. I am a deeply engaged listener who is passionate about clients connecting to their authentic selves and finding places of belonging, and my hope is (with time & trust) therapy can be one of those places. Please reach out for a free 20 minute call to see if we might be a good fit.

I weave together many types of therapy into my work, tailoring what I offer to each client based on their unique needs and what approaches seem to support them most. I often use mindfulness and somatic (body-based) therapy tools while teach coping skills for emotional regulation and tolerating distress.
