Life’s challenges can isolate and divide us. I will support you in moving your life towards feelings of connectedness, ease, and self-alignment. I work with adults and teens who want deeper, more nourishing relationships; to grow their confidence and feel content in themselves; who long to loosen the grip of stuck patterns; who need support in navigating transitions, grief, loss, or identity development; and those who want to heal from the negative effects of anxiety, depression, or trauma.
I am an attuned collaborator and value building affirming relationships. I bring curiosity and warmth; ask new, deep questions, listening to what you’re saying and what you may not yet be able to. You are the expert on your own life and my goal is to support you to better show up for yourself. I will make space for pain, levity, and everything in between.
We cannot separate ourselves from the world we live in. Therapy can help us better understand how the ways we feel, relate, and think have been shaped by systems of power. I work well with people from diverse backgrounds, including 1st and 2nd gen immigrants, mixed-race and multicultural folks, and LGBTQ+ identified people. Reach out to see if we'd be a fit!
