I bring a lot of myself into the therapy room, especially my parent self.

I specialize in working with children and families and my approach is compassionate, strengths-based, non-judgmental, and client-led.

You may be carrying more than most people realize – the toll of anxiety, the fog of depression, lingering impacts of trauma, or the stress of feeling the need to hold everything together. Maybe you’ve been doing the work, but something still feels unfinished. Maybe you're exploring your identity, breaking cycles, or navigating chronic illness. You want to feel more connected to yourself, but you’re not sure where to start. In our work together, you’ll be met with presence, not pressure. This is your space to show up as you are, feel understood, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve care and attention, not just survival.
