Great to meet you!

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.

My approach to therapy

I take an integrative, attachment-informed approach to therapy. I help clients understand the underlying patterns driving their thoughts, emotions, and relationships rather than focusing only on surface-level coping strategies.

My work blends insight-oriented therapy with evidence-based approaches such as CBT and elements of ACT. I support clients in identifying unhelpful cycles, increasing emotional awareness, and building the capacity to tolerate discomfort without avoidance or self-sabotage.

I have particular experience working with anxiety, relationship concerns, attachment patterns, and high-functioning individuals who feel stuck despite “knowing better.” My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood while also gently challenged toward growth.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy at this time. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from our work together.

I am associate with a group practice:
