I provide therapy for adults (18+) navigating a range of challenges, including substance use and its impact on loved ones, trauma and PTSD, chronic stress, relationship conflicts, boundary-setting, depression, and anxiety. My work also focuses on individuals facing major life transitions, managing ongoing stressors and pressures, and seeking meaning beyond past identities or roles.
Grounded in a relational and attachment-based lens, my work is informed by ACT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed somatic practices, mindfulness, and elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS). My approach is tailored to help clients enhance self-awareness, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with their inner resilience.
My approach to therapy is a collaborative, creative process tailored to your unique experiences. I bring warmth, authenticity, and directness to my work, encouraging humor and curiosity. I believe that the answers people seek are already within them, and together, we create a space to explore and resolve the barriers that stand in the way.
