My framework for therapy is rooted in being client-centered, relational, and trauma-informed. I draw from advanced training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, considering how patterns of interaction shape our relationships with others and ourselves. I also integrate mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support greater awareness and promote new, more positive patterns of thinking.

I work from a social justice lens that considers the impact of systems of oppression on mental health and healing. I believe that so much of our well-being is not only shaped by individual experiences, but can also be traced to broader systemic issues like discrimination and injustice. It’s important to me to make space for these discussions in the therapy room, and I invite this reflection whenever it feels relevant. Ultimately, my approach is tailored to you, honoring your unique goals, pace, and lived experiences.

I became a therapist after experiencing the benefits of therapy myself. I’ve sat on the other side of the couch, and I still remember the uncertainty, the vulnerability, and even the awkwardness.

I entered therapy at my own breaking point—unsure, unhappy, and very stuck. Part of my journey meant leaving behind a high-stress corporate job that no longer aligned with my values and left me depleted. This huge leap, although terrifying, was only possible with the faith and support I felt from my therapist. It became the first of many big changes that led me to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Of all those shifts, becoming a therapist has been the most rewarding change I've ever made. Every day, I get the privilege of witnessing moments of joy, sadness, growth, and everything in between. I love sitting with my clients, hearing their stories, celebrating their wins, and holding their pain with them. It is such a gift, and I have immense respect for the courage it takes to uncover and explore our most vulnerable experiences.

Because I’ve been in your seat (and continue my own personal growth), I bring deep empathy, humility, and zero judgment to our work. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapy. With support, I learned to speak more kindly to myself, form more fulfilling relationships, and live in alignment with my most authentic self. This possibility—and so much more—is available to you, and together, we can explore what that looks like for your life.

Outside of the therapy room, I find balance in the simple moments of life. I enjoy knitting, thrifting for vintage housewares, swimming, hiking, practicing yoga, and spending quality time with my dog, cat, and partner. I look forward to meeting you and gaining a holistic understanding of your life, including the values and relationships that matter most to you.
