Great to meet you!

Through an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy, I offer you the opportunity to explore the parts of your story unique to your identity, develop and nurture self-compassion, and integrate those parts into the fullness of your human experience. At the heart of my work, I strive to create an empathic and safe environment that fully allows you to show up with vulnerability and honesty as your authentic self.

My approach to therapy

I use aspects of insight-oriented therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy with a trauma-informed approach to aid you in understanding the impact of life circumstances on your present decisions, relationships, and overall well-being. I am a firm believer in honoring the mind-body-spirit connection, and view each client through an individual, holistic lens comprehensive of all of their parts.

What you can expect from me

A safe, genuine, and collaborative partnership are the foundational building blocks of a successful therapeutic relationship and a catalyst for our work together. I strive to create a warm and empathic environment for you to feel comfortable showing up to each session as yourself.
