Spots available for new clients! I focus on building an authentic, collaborative relationship that honors your history, culture, and lived experiences. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, disconnections, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck, while working toward changes that support a more fulfilling and connected life.
I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and humor; I am just as impacted by you as you are by me. Growth can feel uncomfortable at times, but vulnerability and risk are often part of creating meaningful, lasting change. My role is to support you through that process. I have experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
My work is trauma-informed and holistic, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and past experiences. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities, and I have particular interest in working with LGBTQ+/queer and questioning individuals, couples, and teens ages 14+. Please feel free to reach out to see if we might be a good fit!

I tend to use Relationally-focused types of therapy and will adapt my treatment approach based on your specific goals and what works best for you. As I get to know you more, I will help you identify patterns of thinking that might be holding you back and help you to recognize and re-chart these patterns with self-kindness
