At the heart of my approach is a recognition of the shared humanity that connects us all. I believe that we’re all doing the best we can with the tools we have—none of us are broken or in need of fixing. We learn to adapt to our environments, experiences, and relationships in ways that help us survive emotionally and make sense of the world. Eventually, these strategies may no longer serve us or fit who we are becoming. Therapy offers a space to explore these patterns together and begin developing new ways of being that support this version of you.

more about my approach

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own—therapy offers a space to show up fully and discover your way forward.

wondering how therapy can help?

 I offer experience and support in the following areas:


Supporting you in untangling old patterns, reconnecting with yourself, and creating a life that feels more balanced.

Guiding teens through life’s challenges as they explore who they are and who they’re becoming.

Offering a space where every part of your identity is welcome—free from judgment, expectation, or pressure to be anything other than you.

Using EFT to shift unhelpful communication patterns, heal relationship wounds, and create a more secure, loving bond.

This might be your first time seeking therapy, or you may have been here before. Either way, your choice to invest in yourself is a brave and meaningful one.
