You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain insight, and begin creating lasting change. My style is both direct and compassionate. I'll meet you with warmth and genuine care while also helping you gently challenge the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. Together we'll explore what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and create practical tools that help you move toward a life that feels authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
My work is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic therapy. This integrative, mind-body approach allows us to not only shift thought patterns but also process emotions and experiences held in the body.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions, as well as those seeking deeper connection with others. I see myself as an advocate who stands alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths and move toward healing.
