I've been working with young people for several years. In that time, I have learned the importance of meeting people where they are, using curiosity and compassion as a guiding principle, and the value of humor and authenticity in building relationships. I am committed to creating a space in which people feel seen and heard and are able be exactly who they are. In our work together, I will support you in developing greater self-awareness, creating capacity for self-advocacy and boundary setting, and developing the ability to navigate relationships with more ease.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process between clinician and client, to foster rapport and communication. I look forward to learning from my clients and discovering the best ways to help and serve them.
I am currently interested in working with adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and persistent mental illnesses, going through life transitions and adjustments, and individuals looking for stress management and coping skills, as well as address specific concerns within marginalized/oppressed communities (BIPOC). I am also interested in marriage and family counseling.

I meet clients where they are at by building upon existing strengths and providing a nonjudgmental space for self-exploration and growth. I value honesty, empathy, curiosity, and humor in my practice. The foundation of my work uses person-centered and relational therapy techniques. I may pull from psychodynamic, solution-focused, or narrative therapy. My therapeutic approach is for those looking for support, self-reflection, alternate perspectives, and accountability.

Trauma and anxiety can leave you feeling trapped, stuck in your head, disconnected from your body, and exhausted from trying to “talk yourself out of it.” But it’s possible to feel different. With the right support, you can experience more calm, connection, confidence, and even joy. True change often happens when we stop trying to think our way through it and start feeling our way through it. That's why I love somatic work! Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, self-doubt, sleep issues, life transitions, living with ADHD, or other emotional challenges, you don't have to do it alone.

I work with clients exploring emotions, fantasies, and ways you engage with the world. I believe therapeutic healing occurs within a trusting relationship between client and therapist.

It's our reality that human beings struggle at times along the road of life. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families get over and through these life obstacles. I have been honored and amazed to witness people conquer fears, addictions and harmful experiences that have left them tired and gasping on that road, and once again pick themselves up and journey onwards.
