Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're struggling with relationships, anxiety, isolation, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I provide a warm, collaborative space where we can work together to help you create meaningful change. With over 11 years of experience, I combine evidence-based approaches with deep emotional work to help individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and build more fulfilling relationships – with themselves and others.
My integrative approach draws from multiple therapeutic frameworks, allowing me to tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals. While our past experiences shape us, we have the power to write new chapters in our story. Together, we'll explore both practical solutions for immediate concerns and deeper patterns that may be holding you back.
Sessions with me typically involve warmth, genuineness, a splash of humor, and a thoughtful balance between challenge and support. Please reach out to schedule a free 30-minute Zoom consultation with me to determine if we're a good fit.

For couples work, I use the PACT model; I am a very active participant in this type of therapy, and will guide you to become better attuned to one another and learn to create a foundation of safety, support, and mutual respect. Individual therapy has a different feel; we are co-explorers in that work, and together we set the pacing and goals.
