I work inclusively with individuals from all backgrounds, offering support and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process. I often help clients manage intense relational stress, break old patterns, work through past trauma and find their footing during difficult transitions like a high-conflict divorce. My style is warm, respectful, and grounded in mutual trust. I bring humor into sessions when it's helpful, and I'm also not afraid to challenge you when needed to support your growth.
My therapeutic stance is rooted in feminist theory, an Adlerian perspective, and a systems approach. This shapes our work together as we set goals, seek clarity, and disrupt unhelpful patterns.
Whatever your background or current situation, you’ll find a space in my practice that is free from judgment and rich in support.
