We often come to therapy when we feel stuck and want to shift how we feel, relate, or move through the world. I work predominantly with teens and adults using therapeutic approaches that combine skill-building and personal exploration. We will be a good fit together if you are experiencing significant life changes, if you are feeling confused or stuck, and if you want to break free from patterns that are limiting you from living the life you want to lead. Together, we can work on understanding emotions, managing anxiety, building self-esteem, and creating purposeful relationships using an approach that uniquely fits you.
My work is guided by collaboration and meeting you exactly where you are at today. In practice, this means I hold deep respect for your story, approaching our work together with curiosity, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to your growth and well-being. I use somatic approaches to help grow the body and brain connection.
If you're navigating life changes, seeking to strengthen and improve your relationships, or simply wanting to enhance your overall well-being, I am here to provide a space to explore and get curious. Let's get started together. I am currently accepting new clients for in-person and telehealth appointments.

My approach is tailored to what your personal needs and goals are, often combining tools from behavioral therapies and incorporating newer trauma-informed modalities.
