Hi! Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unfulfilled in your relationships? Whether it’s with a partner, family member, friend, or even yourself, our relationships shape how we move through the world. My passion is helping individuals heal from relationship trauma, build healthier connections, and find lasting fulfillment in their interpersonal lives. I believe that everyone deserves relationships that feel safe, respectful, and meaningful. In our work together, I’ll support you in understanding how your past experiences are impacting your present, and guide you toward developing stronger connections.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client focused, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and goals.I integrate various modalities to help clients accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment, commit to actions that align with their values, and build psychological flexibility. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space.🪴

Therapy doesn't have to be all serious—I value the role of humor in the healing process. Laughter can be incredibly therapeutic, helping to break down barriers and build a strong therapeutic alliance. Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with self-image, or coping with past traumas, I'm here to support you on your journey!

What you can expect from me

You can expect to take away coping strategies that work for you, validation, growth, and maybe a couple of laughs!
