Are you a college student feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out? Or perhaps a new or expecting mother navigating the emotional and identity shifts that come with motherhood? You don’t have to go through these experiences alone. As a trauma-informed therapist, I work primarily with college & graduate students, young professionals, adults, and mothers who are facing life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and the lasting impact of difficult or traumatic experiences. I am especially passionate about supporting mothers during pregnancy and postpartum periods, as well as helping young adults move through grief.
I believe meaningful therapy starts with a genuine, trusting relationship. My style is collaborative, relational, and personalized — because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I bring curiosity, authenticity, warmth, and humor into our work together so you can feel safe showing up as your real self while gently challenging yourself to explore deeper themes.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, vulnerable, and scary. Taking this step takes courage. With the right fit and a shared commitment to growth, therapy can be deeply transformative. If you’re ready to begin, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

With a trauma-informed framework, I approach therapy as a collaborative process. During our initial sessions, we will discuss goals and work together to create a plan to address issues in a way that feels doable. In general, clients who get the most out of sessions with me are the ones willing to challenge themselves to go deeper, be honest, and sit with discomfort.

In general, I lean heavily towards psychodynamic and attachment principles, emphasizing the ways childhood experiences shape adult ones. However, in my work, I also use a lot of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, which is a branch of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as I'm a firm believer that so many of our struggles are not from our feelings themselves, but the way we feel about those feelings.
