Hi there. I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way here, something in life may feel heavy, uncertain, or difficult to hold alone. I offer warm, collaborative psychotherapy where we gently explore your experiences, patterns, and what feels stuck or painful. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship and attachment difficulties, identity questions, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, parenting struggles, and substance use. I see children (5+), adolescents, adults, and couples. In this affirming space, you are welcome as you are.
I work in an integrative and collaborative way, adapting therapy to each client's unique needs and experiences. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and genuine connection. Together, we create space to explore what feels painful or overwhelming while moving toward greater understanding and meaningful change.
You don’t need to arrive having everything figured out or present yourself in any particular way. You’re welcome to bring the unfiltered, unsure, quiet, overwhelmed, or uncertain parts of yourself too. Therapy can hold all of that. If this feels like a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out via WhatsApp or email to take that first step.
