I practice from a person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic lens, supporting clients in gaining insight into the impact of one's familial, cultural, and societal environment on how we show up and relate to others.

I aim to foster a down to earth environment in which we can slow down, process, and work together to cultivate a life you can find both meaning and connection within. I enjoy working with young-mid adults through navigating relationships, challenging family dynamics, school and career related stressors, life transitions, grief, and women's issues.

My approach is grounded in my psychodynamic and relational training, which means that we will work together to track the ways your environment has impacted you and the ways you influence your environment.
Accepting new clients! I have had the privilege of working with early to mid-adults of various backgrounds and identities.

Sometimes life catapults us into a new chapter, a new milestone, a new relationship status - filled with both challenge and promise - that we may not have asked for or are finding ourselves struggling with. Together in therapy, I collaborate with my clients to find meaning, awareness, and growth through experiencing the present and deliberately reflecting on patterns of the past.

I tailor my psychodynamic approach to fit your unique needs, listening closely to what you want from our work together.
“I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
