About

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I believe that real healing happens in relationship. The therapeutic relationship should be one where you feel safe enough to explore your wounds. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, I offer a steadfast presence and a collaborative approach. You are the expert on your story, and my role is to walk with you as we make sense of the pain, confusion, or fear together. I hope to offer you not just tools, but a relationship where you can process your experiences in a new way with someone who understands differently than others might have.

That means we focus on what’s happening between us because healing often begins when we’re able to show up in honesty. I aim to be attuned and compassionate, helping you uncover stuck patterns and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been left behind.
