Welcome, I'm a trauma-informed therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through mental health challenges, addiction, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in psychodynamic theory and early attachment theory. I help clients uncover early patterns that shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Therapy with me is collaborative, personalized, and often infused with a gentle sense of humor, allowing us to work through challenges in a supportive and engaging way. Viewing experiences through a trauma-informed lens, together we will explore patterns, develop strategies, and build skills for growth.
I support adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, addictions, and life transitions. I gently challenge unhelpful patterns while providing a safe space allowing for insight, self-awareness, and resilience.
I communicate with empathy, curiosity, and clarity. I'm collaborative, reflective, and respectful, while remaining authentically aligned with my core values. I strive to have you feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore and grow at your own pace.
