The people I work with often feel overwhelmed, trapped, or unsure where they fit. Sometimes it’s relationship struggles, grief, or a feeling of loneliness. Sometimes it’s the weight of being LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent in a world that doesn’t understand or respect you. And sometimes it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, or just a feeling that something is missing, even if you can’t fully explain it. Maybe you’ve learned how to power through, but it’s starting to catch up with you. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone in it. You don’t need the perfect words or a clear starting point. We can figure that out together, at your pace.
I’ve supported individuals and couples navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, conflict, and chronic health conditions, as well as concerns regarding identity, communication, sexuality, meaning, and purpose. I also work with people going through transitions in their relationships, career, family, spirituality, and gender expression.
Our struggles can carry with them a sense of disconnection from others, from ourselves, and from the world around us. Healing often begins by creating new, authentic connections. I’ll meet you where you are, without judgment, and together we’ll work toward your goals in a way that feels both true and achievable you.

Everyone is different, and that diversity deserves to be honored. Society, family, peers, and even ourselves, often problematize differences: sometimes subtly, sometimes overtly. Our work will focus on untangling and taking ownership over your personal narrative, building skills, and developing self-compassion so that you can move forward in life with greater confidence and authenticity.

While I draw from a core collection of practice philosophies in my work, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. You know yourself best, and our work will be largely self-directed: guided by your needs and goals, at your pace, and within your personal context. My role is to be flexible and offer targeted insight, support, and reflection informed by my training and experience.
