About

We often seek therapy when something within us feels unsettled. When we’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying emotions that feel too heavy or too tangled to sort through alone. Life may be moving forward, but we may not feel ready to move with it. This can bring frustration, sadness, anxiety, or a blend of feelings that make it hard to begin. In my work, I help clients gently explore what shapes their emotions, relationships, and sense of self in the world. With empathy and curiosity, we make meaning of what feels unresolved and create space for healing. I work with clients across the lifespan, with a particular passion for supporting children and adolescents. My experience includes helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. I view therapy as a collaborative process and strive to create a space where clients feel understood and accepted.
