Great to meet you!

Are you having difficulty maintaining healthy relationships? Do you feel disconnected, anxious, or persistently down? And are you always blaming yourself for these feelings? If this sounds like you, believe me when I say you’re not alone. I specialize in helping people just like you, to build meaningful relationships to themselves and others, and reconnect to the joy in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I bring over 15 years of counseling experience, specializing in helping people navigate the challenges of both historical and recent traumas, as well as major life transitions. My approach focuses on helping clients understand and process their experiences, empowering them to regain control over their lives. My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

Utilizing an intersectional feminist lens, I prioritize relational approaches in therapy, aiming to build meaningful therapeutic experiences and provide care that honors the unique lived experiences of all people. Whether you are dealing with the aftermath of a trauma, major life transitions or struggling with the daily grind of life, I am here to help you steer your path towards healing and growth. Let's work to create a space where you feel truly seen and heard, borne witness to.
