About Me
Everything makes sense when viewed through the lens of our lived relationships and experiences. Together we will explore your relational and emotional world with curiosity and compassion. I believe therapy works best when it feels grounded, honest, collaborative, and genuinely human. My approach is rooted in curiosity, connection, frequent laughter, and helping you slow down enough to hear yourself again — beneath the noise, pressure, or survival patterns that may have taken over. I work with adults and teens navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, nervous system overwhelm, chronic illness, and the emotional impact of pervasive past or current stressors. Together, we will create space to understand the patterns that developed to protect you — while building new ways of relating to yourself, your body, and your life with more clarity and compassion.
Expect our work together to be a curious and open space for expression from both the mind and the body. Together we may pause for present feelings, focus into internal parts-work, dive into both your obstacles and strengths, slow down into nervous system awareness, invite relational exploration, and introduce practical coping tools tailored to your needs. Healing is not about fixing who you are, but instead, guiding you to remember and uncover who that is. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct when helpful, a bit fun, and centered on building a relationship where you feel safe enough to explore honestly.
Outside of therapy, I feel most grounded in nature, feeling live music, sitting in meaningful conversation, sipping strong coffee, spending time with my pets, shifting health and wellness routines, and continually learning and relearning to implement my most supportive life. Those pieces of life influence the atmosphere I try to create in our space together— one that feels warm, authentic, individualized, reflective, and deeply human. Together we will nurture growth and spark creativity to propel you forward at a gentle pace. Join me in building our space together as a place of mutual learning and a container where you feel supported in returning to yourself.
