About

Life transitions can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and at times, isolating. Whether you're navigating new parenthood, shifting careers, ending a relationship, or simply feeling like the person you’ve been no longer fits who you want to become—you don’t have to go through it alone. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping adults move through periods of change with clarity and self-compassion. My approach is collaborative and strength-based: together, we’ll explore what’s working, gently examine patterns that no longer serve you, and begin to build a more authentic and aligned version of your life. I believe that transitions are not just endings—they're invitations to create new meaning, new identity, and a new way of being in the world. Therapy with me is a space where growth is possible, even when things feel messy or uncertain.
