As a therapist & human, I believe that our deepest pain is often with our deepest longings. My work & approach are rooted in attachment-based research, & my theory of change begins with the belief that we have an innately human need to connect & belong. I strive to create a space where you can belong, first & foremost. I pay close attention to the ways early relationships shape how we see ourselves, connect with others & move in this complex world. I believe I understand how pain, loss, and disconnection can leave lasting imprints on us and contribute to our sense of alienation.

For over ten years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside people as they work toward creating the life they want. For over ten years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside people as they work toward creating the life they want. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my main approach because it gives us practical tools to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect—and how small changes in one area can lead to meaningful shifts in our everyday life. That said, I don’t believe therapy is about fixing what’s “wrong” with you.
