Great to meet you!

I work with couples, families, and adults navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, fertility challenges, PTSD, bipolar disorder, sexual identity exploration, intimacy concerns, and family conflict. Many of my clients are high-achieving individuals who look “fine” on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally.

My style is warm, relational, and deeply attuned — but also strategic and structured. I am direct in a gentle way. I will validate you, and I will challenge you. I hold unconditional positive regard for every client while helping you become the person you truly want to be.

My approach to therapy

I tailor therapy to the individual. Rather than expecting you to fit into a modality, I draw from approaches that best support you — including CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, EFCT, the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, IFS, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, Somatic work, TF-CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and expressive modalities such as art therapy. At the core of all of it is a humanistic belief in your inherent worth and capacity for growth.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will begin by creating a safe, supportive space where you can share what brings you to therapy and what you hope might change in your life. I will take time to understand your current challenges, personal history, relationships, values, and the patterns that may be shaping your experiences. My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtfully structured, while still allowing space for the conversation to unfold naturally. Together we will begin identifying your goals and the areas where you would like to experience more clarity, healing, or growth, and we will start building a plan for how therapy can support meaningful change in your life.
