I help people reconnect with their authentic selves and create a life that feels more aligned and grounded in their values. Whether you’re navigating a transition, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma or neurodiversity, I will be your partner and advocate. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. I integrate strengths-based, psychodynamic, and holistic approaches to tailor support to your unique needs. I believe growth comes from both feeling safe and being gently challenged. My approach is validating and compassionate, inviting insight and self-reflection.
Clients often share that they feel profoundly seen, heard, and understood in our work, even when our backgrounds or beliefs differ. Humility and curiosity drive my work, in an effort to create a relationship grounded in trust, safety, and mutual respect. I’m a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) am IFS- and trauma-informed.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions so we can connect in the way that works best for you. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and explore new ways of being, I’d be honored to work with you.
