Many people come to therapy feeling nervous, unsure, or worried about what to expect. We welcome those concerns and help clients move at a pace that feels safe, clear, and collaborative. Our ideal clients may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for change. With a relational focus, our team helps clients understand patterns in their relationships, emotions, and past experiences, while making therapy feel less intimidating and supporting greater clarity, connection, and change.

I work best with individuals who feel stuck, whether due to addiction, trauma, or life’s overwhelming challenges, and are seeking a way forward that truly honors their unique journey. My ideal client may feel disconnected from themselves, struggling to find meaning or direction, yet they have a deep desire to rebuild a life that reflects their values. Together, we work toward self-compassion, inner peace, and a path to healing that feels both sustainable and authentic, whether that includes a 12-Step approach or another method that resonates with them.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we can understand ourselves in context: our bodies, relationships, histories, identities, and communities. With a background in health education and medical case management, I bring an awareness of the ways emotional pain, trauma, stress, and disconnection can show up in the body. Whether you are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, or the pressure to be who others expect you to be, I offer a collaborative space where you can show up with honesty, courage, and care.

I believe that problems often arise when people become stuck in negative thought patterns or interaction cycles. When individuals hold onto limiting narratives about themselves, these beliefs can become the root of various issues. My ideal client is someone who feels trapped by these patterns, whether in their personal life or relationships, and is eager to break free. They seek to transform these harmful cycles, aiming to achieve personal growth and stronger, healthier connections with others. Their goal is to reclaim their narrative, empowering themselves to create a more enriching and meaningful life.

I believe deeply in the human capacity for change. In therapy, I take a relational and systemic approach, helping clients understand how their relationships, family systems, and life experiences shape the patterns they are experiencing today. I view therapy as a collaborative space where clients can better understand themselves, build self-compassion, and move toward change that feels meaningful and sustainable.

I help individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, identity development, and life transitions. I also bring personal and professional experience to my work with LGBTQIA+ clients, queer relationships, people practicing polyamory, and those navigating bipolar disorder. Whatever brings you to therapy, I provide a space where you can slow down, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and alive.
