Great to meet you!

Therapy is a place to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of the patterns shaping your life and relationships. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I help clients develop greater self-awareness, understand the emotions underneath their reactions, and build healthier patterns in their relationships. Drawing from attachment-based, Emotionally Focused, narrative, and Internal Family Systems approaches, I work collaboratively to help you understand where your patterns come from and create meaningful change.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect me to listen closely—really listen. I want to understand your story, not just the surface, but the parts you’ve carried quietly and the details that may have been overlooked in the past. I pay attention to the patterns, the subtle truths, and the big reality that might be sitting right in front of us but feels too heavy or intimidating to name. Our first session is about slowing down, getting to know who you are, and beginning to uncover what’s actually driving the stuck places. You can expect honesty, warmth, and a space where your story is taken seriously.
