Welcome to my profile, I am glad you're here! I would be honored to provide a safe place for you to work towards healing and transformation. Your experience in therapy will be tailored to your needs, as we all experience life differently. As we work together to discover a deeper understanding of you and your patterns, you will be seen, heard, understood and supported.

This can influence your relationship with self and others, creating change and growth in a positive direction.

You are intuitive, sensitive and intelligent. How you're perceived doesn’t match up with how you feel about yourself. Maybe you've been trying to live up to others expectations, or societal expectations, of how you "should" be. You feel deeply misunderstood, and carry an inner heaviness because you feel like no one really knows you. Maybe you're not quite sure who you are yet. It's showing as depression, anxiety, loneliness and avoidance. You don't have to keep trying to just be better and figure it out it all out on your own. I'm here to offer support and empower you on your journey towards self love, connection, and peace.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, depleted, or stuck in cycles that feel impossible to disentagle from. You may feel caught in patterns of anxiety, depression, or doubt that have sunk their teeth in. I believe the path to healing and alignment is relational. My goal is not to change you into someone else, but to help you reconnect with a self that feels lost. To move into a space of healing requires us to be witnessed in our entirety, and to be received with acceptance. I don't simply want to find the quick fix, I want to help us discover what's under the surface.

Some of my specialties include working with people who may be struggling with issues of trauma, systemic oppression, ADHD, and substance use recovery. My approach is grounded in helping clients explore, accept, and embrace their authentic selves, which I have found to be a common theme across the spectrum of challenges people face.
