Great to meet you!

I am a co-conspirator with my clients, confronting the dilemmas of being human with openness, compassion, and curiosity.

My approach to therapy

I came to this profession after spending much of my life on the other side of the desk. I know what it’s like to feel out of place, out of control, and out of options—because I’ve been there. I also recognize that every journey is unique. My role is to guide you in finding your own path forward. My practice is deeply rooted in this hard-earned wisdom, and it’s enriched by the training and professional experience I’ve gained along the way.

What you can expect from me

The alphabet soup of manualized therapies works for many, and I’ve found that true transformation often begins when clients step beyond those structured approaches. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. From there, clients may find themselves exploring different parts of their psyche, setting boundaries with substances, conversing with lost loved ones, or even finding gratitude in long-held pain. Each outcome and process is as unique as the individuals I see.
