I’m a therapist who believes that many of our struggles come from navigating the very real, very human questions of life, Who am I? What matters to me? How do I move forward when things feel uncertain or overwhelming? I work with clients who may be feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, or in the middle of a life transition, and I offer a space where you can slow down and make sense of your experience without judgment. In our work together, we’ll explore not just what’s going wrong, but what feels meaningful, authentic, and true to you.
I love pulling from different theories and therapy modalities. I often integrate an understanding of the nervous system and highlight the mind-body connection in my work with clients and especially when working with trauma.
I see therapy as a collaborative process where curiosity, honesty, and compassion guide the conversation. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with your own inner voice, and build a life that feels more intentional, connected, and aligned with your values.

I work with adults and teenagers who may be feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, or in the middle of a life transition, as well as trauma survivors who are carrying experiences that still feel present in their daily lives. I understand that trauma can impact your sense of safety, identity, and connection, so we move at a pace that feels right for you, with care and respect for your boundaries.

Counseling to me is, at its core, a collaborative journey toward meaning, healing, and growth. My own approach to therapy draws upon the existential tradition of emphasizing authenticity and responsibility, narrative therapy's conviction that people live through the stories they tell, and internal family systems' recognition of the multiplicity of parts within every individual.
