Whether you’re feeling down, burned out, stuck, or have the uneasy sense that something isn’t quite right in your life, your whole self is welcome here. I aim to create a therapy experience that feels warm, steady, and free of judgment. We’ll get curious together about what’s happening beneath the surface of your day-to-day life, particularly the patterns and influences that are outside your awareness. Through that exploration, we’ll bring clarity to your inner world and empower you to make choices that are aligned with your authentic self.
I have experience supporting people who are navigating life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, sexuality, self-esteem, and relationships. I work with individual adults, along with couples, throuples, and polycules.
I believe that when we gently and courageously turn toward the truth of our experiences, real change becomes possible. If anything here resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out. I would be honored to hear your story.

I do not accept insurance, but I can provide superbills for you if your insurance policy reimburses out-of-network care. I'd suggest calling your insurance company to check if you aren't sure if this applies to you.
