Great to meet you!

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, complicated family dynamics, and major life transitions. I particularly enjoy helping clients understand longstanding patterns, navigate difficult relationships, and gain clarity about their choices.

My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in an understanding of how past experiences, attachment patterns, and family relationships shape our present lives. I offer a warm, thoughtful, and direct therapeutic relationship that encourages deeper self-understanding, healthier boundaries, and meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, direct, and insight-oriented. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, family systems, and Gottman Method Level 1 training to help clients better understand themselves and their relationships. Together, we explore longstanding patterns, conflicting emotions, and the ways past experiences shape present challenges. I tailor therapy to each person's needs, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, navigate difficult relationships, strengthen boundaries, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I'll take time to get to know you, understand what brings you to therapy, and learn what you hope to gain from our work together. We'll explore your current concerns, relevant history, and any patterns or challenges you'd like to better understand. My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative, and I welcome questions throughout the process. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, understood, and confident that we can work together in a way that feels meaningful and useful to you.
