Life asks a lot of our hands. We carry, build, hold, protect, reach, and sometimes let go. I work with adolescents, young adults, adoptees, LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and families navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, connection, or change, I’m here to help hold what feels heavy and support you in learning how to hold yourself with greater care, confidence, and compassion.
I draw from somatic and Gestalt approaches, which means therapy is about more than talking through problems. Together, we’ll slow down, get curious, and pay attention to what your thoughts, emotions, and body might be trying to tell you. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reconnect with your strengths, and create intentional change.
Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is reaching out. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, connection, or change, you don’t have to have all the answers before you begin. When you’re ready, I’m here with an outstretched hand.

Therapy isn't about fixing you. It's about getting curious about your experience. Together, we'll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and body while collaborating on goals and a treatment plan that reflect what matters most to you. My hope is that you'll develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, and confidence in navigating life's challenges.
