Life is messy, weird and wildly unpredictable. Therapy is about someone helping you untangle the things that feel too overwhelming to sort through on your own. One thread at a time, let's untangle the chaos together. I work with adolescents, individuals, and couples dealing with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, eating disorders, substance use, the impact of trauma, and difficult life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck or simply ready to explore something deeper, I’m here to walk alongside you, explore patterns and find new ways to cope.

I'm a trauma-focused therapist grounded in internal family systems, somatic, and integrative approaches including EMDR. I am committed to creating a space where you feel safe to share your deepest truths. My work is person-centered and client-directed - I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring your unique story, strengths, and goals.

Healing is a collaborative process. I hope to support you in understanding what’s happening in your life, reconnecting with yourself, others, and the world, while building the tools you need to move forward. You're the expert in your life - let's tap into that inner wisdom and create meaningful, lasting change. But we can't get started until you reach out!
