To be a human tasked with enduring life's wonders, joys, and sorrows can feel absurd, beautiful, and crushing all at once. The weight of it all and the effort it takes to find balance among such complex experiences can leave us feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves and others. If you're here because you're grieving, overwhelmed, fearful, or simply longing to live more authentically, welcome. You’ve already taken an intentional step by being here, acknowledging that you’re worthy of care and of a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
I feel most helpful when supporting clients navigating grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and identity exploration. I hold space for clients to slow down, to release, and to untangle patterns that no longer feel helpful. I show up with my own shared humanity, and I also value humor and levity as part of the therapeutic process when appropriate.
By leaning into pain with curiosity and connection, we can build greater awareness of who you are, what truly matters, and how to tend to both your wounds and your wholeness. I'd be honored to support you on your unique path. You can reach out to me here or view my website to learn more about my approach and schedule a free consultation.

I often use Existential Therapy in my practice to help clients explore life's unavoidable conditions, such as meaning, purpose, freedom, death, isolation, and responsibility. I find Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Internal Family Systems, & EMDR pair well with this approach to add more practical tools for emotional regulation, coping, and trauma-informed care practices.
