You’re someone who’s feeling stuck—caught in burnout, stress, or the lingering weight of past relational or systemic trauma. Maybe you’re a student-athlete striving for balance, or someone navigating identity, mood challenges, anxiety, or life transitions. You seek clarity and deeper understanding, wanting to connect your present feelings to your life’s bigger questions. You need a compassionate, collaborative space where insight and motivation are nurtured at your pace. You want to regain meaning, agency, and authentic connection—not by force, but through thoughtful exploration and change.
I'm a compassionate, collaborative therapist integrating Psychodynamic, Existential, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT approaches to guide teens, adults, and athletes through trauma, mood struggles, anxiety, addiction, life transitions, and identity issues—helping you reclaim meaning, balance, and connection.
I offer a compassionate, collaborative space to explore life’s challenges—whether rooted in trauma, stress, identity, or transitions. Together, we can uncover meaning, build resilience, and move toward healing at your own pace. If you’re ready to feel supported and understood, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

My clinical approach integrates psychodynamic and existential perspectives to help uncover how past experiences and deeper questions of identity influence present struggles. I also use motivational interviewing to help explore your values, build insight, and take action at your own pace. We will work to overcome challenges by understanding the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
