Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying trauma, questioning your worth, or struggling to feel accepted for who you are. I especially enjoy working with people recovering from people pleasing, older adults reflecting on their lives with compassion, and LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals learning to embrace themselves in a world that often asks them to be someone else. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming space where you can heal, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Working with people across all stages of life has shaped my person-centered approach to therapy. My experience with trauma, autism, brain injuries, developmental disabilities, serious mental illness, and end-of-life care allows me to draw from many perspectives to meet you where you are.
Wherever you're starting, you'll be met with compassion, not judgment. I'll help you understand your experiences, build healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. When you're ready, I'd be honored to support you.
