Great to meet you!

After over 15 years of being in and out of therapy myself, I’ve come to understand what actually makes a difference- and I bring those same qualities into how I show up with my clients.

I aim to be present, thoughtful, compassionate, and curious, while offering gentle nudges when needed. I’ll hold you accountable with care, and when it feels right, I’ll sprinkle in some lightness and humor- because let’s be real, the work can get pretty heavy.

I help people find their voice, set healthy boundaries, and build a deeper connection with themselves so they can have better relationships with others. Together, we will work on befriending all parts of you, without shaming or dismissing "bad" or "unacceptable" feelings.

My approach to therapy

My work is rooted in a blend of evidence-based modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My approach is centered on helping you learn how to honor, integrate, and care for all parts of yourself, not just the ones you (or others) see as “acceptable.” Together, we will explore and give voice to emotions that are often pushed aside, such as anger, shame, resentment, jealousy, disgust, and learn how to work with them, rather than against them.

What you can expect from me

You will rediscover your strengths, find beauty in your weaknesses, and develop healthier ways to respond to life's challenges in ways you are proud of. I'll encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, challenge old habits and beliefs, and embrace new perspectives. Discomfort will come up, and that's ok- We’ll sit in it together. It would be an honor to be a part of your journey of self-discovery.
