Life can feel heavy at times, and reaching out for help may feel daunting. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space to explore what matters most to you.
I work with both individuals and couples, helping people navigate challenges in communication, trust, and connection. Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your relationship, heal after conflict, or better understand patterns that keep you feeling stuck, therapy can offer guidance and support for creating healthier, more fulfilling connections.
My practice is grounded in Attachment Theory and integrates approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. As a diversity-affirming therapist, I see therapy as a collaborative process where we honor your experiences, highlight your strengths, and explore new ways of living that align with your values.
I truly love this work and feel honored to be part of my clients’ journeys. My hope is to be both an ally and an advocate—someone who sees your resilience, supports your growth, and walks alongside you as you create the changes you’re looking for.
