Drawing from my professional experiences in inpatient crisis care and outpatient therapy, I utilize compassion and creativity to meet you where you are on your journey. Working with families and couples, I’ve witnessed the many shapes love can take and how gaining common understanding can create meaningful change. Often, to feel truly heard is to begin to heal. Whether stuck in painful thought patterns or relationship dynamics, therapy can crack open a door to new possibilities. Whether you are seeking therapy with specific goals in mind or from a place of confusion - I am confident in our ability to figure it out together.
I emphasize trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care, believing safety and affirmation are foundational for positive change. I aim to be gentle, approachable, and direct, ultimately putting you at ease. By being transparent about my thought process, we can work together more collaboratively. I believe you to be the expert of your own inner world.
The fact that you are reading my profile on this website suggests you are ready… for support, change, or both. It is brave to try therapy for the first time and it is equally as brave to try it again (and again). If you think we might be a good fit to work together, please send me an email. If you’ve read this far into my profile, it might be worth a try!
