Embarking on your healing journey is no small task. It is my hope that you feel seen, safe and emboldened in your connections through our work together. You can expect me to be honest, compassionate, humorous, and deeply curious with you on your journey towards you and your family’s goals. I come with a socio-emotional approach, which looks at the ways our relating to others and ourselves has been shaped by culture and context. Slowly untangling our own stories from the stories we’ve been told about who we are is done through a steady, gentle, compassionate and collaborative rhythm.

You think fast, feel deeply, and hold a lot. From the outside, you seem steady and functioning. On the inside? You're scanning every emotion in the room, running 12 open tabs at once: other people’s feelings, systems, outcomes, and unspoken needs. You’re the go-to for problem-solving. But your own burnout or emotional overwhelm isn’t something you can think your way out of. I work with deep processors stuck in overdrive—people who are perceptive, layered, and often wondering if they’re “too much.” Together, we listen for what’s underneath and start shifting the patterns keeping you stuck.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change” (Carl Rogers). This is the work of therapy. I approach this work holistically, attending to how each of us is impacted by past and present relationships, and by systemic influences. My perspective is grounded in humanistic and attachment theories, and influenced by multicultural and feminist thinking, with an emphasis on counteracting oppression and treating other traumas. Research has demonstrated that our bodies hold important information that contributes to healing, therefore I incorporate body-based techniques into therapy as well.

There are universal experiences that can cause us to question everything we have learned about who we are within ourselves and in connection to others. It’s in these times it can be difficult to meet life on life’s terms; when looking on the bright side, persistence and grit no longer get us through the day. This has been especially true this past severalyears. The most profound change being our ability to be connected to each other and having shared experiences to look forward to.

When our old methods of coping with life's difficulties no longer work, we can find ourselves stuck - in depression, with anxiety, feeling worthless, maybe afraid to even reach out for help. Talking with someone who can assist you in discovering what went wrong and how to heal from it could be invaluable. Each person is unique and has a story to tell. I'll want to hear your story. I strive to provide everyone with a non-judgmental, empathic atmosphere in which you can feel safe to express any experience however painful or shameful it may feel.

You're deeply worthy, just as you are. Trauma and relationship wounds can create a sense of disconnection from that truth. If this is part of your experience and you're feeling lost, stuck, burned out, or self-critical, know this: the way you feel now is valid AND your story doesn't stop there. You can reclaim this next chapter and all the rest. This journey may not be linear, and that's okay - you don't have to travel it alone. A good therapist can offer a safe space to help you understand your past in a more compassionate way, skillfully notice and shift patterns, and uncover the inner resources you've had all along.
