Great to meet you!

My background in grief and attachment allows me to understand the profound impact these experiences can have on our lives and relationships. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, a breakup, a loss, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space to explore what you’re experiencing. I believe therapy is a space where you can slow down and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

My approach to therapy

I draw from depth psychology, including inner child work, somatic therapy, mindfulness practices such as breathwork & meditation, and attachment theory to support greater self-understanding, emotional connection, and deeper, more meaningful relationships.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and learn more about your background, including your childhood experiences, as well as what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re currently navigating and what you hope to work on. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and begin creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood.
