Great to meet you!

I’m a compassionate, engaged, and experienced therapist who listens deeply and takes the time to truly understand you. I also show up as a real person—new mom, cat lover, nature explorer—because therapy works best when we can be genuine together. In our work, we’ll approach your emotions with curiosity and make space for all the messy, uncertain, and confusing parts of being human.

My approach to therapy

I love working with tweens, teens, adults, and families. Therapy with me is gentle, honest, and grounded—a space where you can sort through what matters most and begin to feel more at home in yourself. I focus on building self-compassion and emotional acceptance while also offering practical tools you can use in your day-to-day life.

What you can expect from me

You deserve to feel happy, healthy, and understood. If you’re curious about what working together might look like, I’d love to talk and see how I can support you.
