About
“I believe therapy offers this essential space, and I encourage my clients to feel comfortable and confident in being their true selves, just as I strive to show up authentically for them.”
Why I became a therapist
I became a therapist because I was deeply inspired by the belief that even a small positive difference in someone's life can have a profound impact, just as my own therapist did for me! I’m fascinated by how relationships function and the ways people impact one another. Relationships are all around us and can be challenging to understand and navigate, and I am passionate about helping others with these complexities. Whether it’s through listening, laughter, or offering a new perspective, I’ll feel I have done my job if I can help someone feel even a little bit better. Life is hard, and I want to provide a space where my clients can feel safe, authentic, and comfortable expressing what’s truly on their minds. By doing this, life outside the therapy room can become less stressful, the overwhelming thoughts are quieted, and emotions are understood and honored.
Who I work with
I am passionate about working with individuals of all ages, couples, and families to navigate significant life transitions and challenges. I believe in the interconnected nature of relationships—changes or struggles within one person inevitably affect the dynamics of their closest connections. My work includes supporting couples as they navigate attachment/family-of-origin issues, relational challenges, and transitions such as uncoupling or redefining their partnerships. I have a particular interest in trauma-focused therapy, including attachment trauma, intergenerational patterns, and multigenerational relationship dynamics. I also enjoy working with individuals seeking to explore identity, set healthier boundaries, overcome people-pleasing tendencies, and deepen their mind-body connection.

Working With Me
Clients are the experts of their own lives, and I am committed to meeting you where you are at and addressing your specific needs, collaboratively, during our time together. Many of us lack safe and supportive spaces to explore what is happening in our heads, bodies, and relationships. I believe therapy offers this essential space, and I encourage my clients to feel comfortable and confident in being their true selves, just as I strive to show up authentically for them. I use a systemic approach that emphasizes how culture, power imbalances, and broader societal systems influence your life, while also focusing on your personal experiences and stories.
