I'm accepting new clients!
I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating the complexities of being human. Maybe something feels off and you can't quite name it. Maybe you're carrying anxiety, grief, or a quiet sense that you've lost touch with yourself. Perhaps you find yourself leading with logic but struggle to access or express emotion. Or maybe your feelings are so big and consuming that they cloud your sense of identity. Wherever you find yourself, I offer a space grounded in honesty, curiosity, and care. All identities are welcome here, and your full self is invited into the room.

We are stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. Most of my clients come to me because the story they are living isn't meeting their needs. Together we investigate their experiences and learn to tell different, better stories.

Some people find themselves feeling stuck with certain thoughts and feelings. Others find themselves repeating behaviors that lead to unproductive and problematic situations in their life. Therapy is a process where these concerns can be discussed and worked through from a nonjudgmental standpoint. My therapeutic approach is to assist you in reaching your personal or relationship goals with more effective ways of being. The adolescents and adults I work with are understood as individuals that have their own unique attitudes, beliefs, and experiences.

I specialize in helping couples, families, and other kinds of relationships repair after ruptures, find harmony, and figure out how to make sustainable, enjoyable changes in their lives. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and family dynamics (such as parent-adult children and adult sibling relationships). I help folks get unstuck by identifying unhelpful patterns, exploring stuckness, and helping people learn new ways of connecting to one another.
