Great to meet you!

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the deep, often unseen wounds passed down through generations. Whether it’s unspoken family rules, inherited anxiety, or cycles of silence and shame, I help clients uncover the roots of their struggles and build new, empowered paths forward.

Generational trauma is real—and healing it is possible. If you’ve ever felt like you’re repeating patterns that don’t feel like your own, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you break the cycle and begin writing a new story for yourself and those who come after you.

My approach to therapy

My therapy approach is relational at its core—I believe that the connection we build together is the most important part of the healing process. It's within a safe, trusting relationship that real growth and change can happen.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to feel recognized, understood, and supported as you undertake this important journey.
