Hello and welcome! I’m a pre-licensed counselor working with individuals and couples of all ages, with a focus on helping clients navigate overwhelm, identity confusion, relational distress, and the lingering effects of trauma. I believe healing unfolds in a space where your full experience is welcome—where we feel safe enough to tell the truth, steady enough to stay with it, and supported enough to grow from it.
My approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for the emotional complexity people carry. I primarily draw from humanistic/existential perspectives, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and process-oriented frameworks, among others, to support self-understanding, clarity, and a sense of direction.
We’ll take time to understand what you’ve been holding, how it’s shaped you, and what healing might look like from here. I’m here to offer support and presence as we move at a pace that reflects where you are and what you need. Wherever you are in your process, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
