Great to meet you!

I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of intergenerational trauma, with a particular focus on young adults, new parents, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. My work explores how intergenerational patterns, past experiences, and current circumstances shape the way we understand ourselves and move through the world. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and develop practical tools for greater clarity, confidence, and life satisfaction. I offer an affirming, individualized space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and work toward lasting change.

My approach to therapy

People don't fit into boxes, so I draw from narrative, humanistic, CBT, DBT, and creative therapies to meet you where you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You are the expert on your own life—we’ll work together to understand patterns, build practical coping skills, and create change that feels meaningful and sustainable.

What you can expect from me

Trauma happens to all of us throughout our lives in varying degrees. Sometimes we need additional support to help us work through understand how patterns continue to impacy us through our lives. Therapy is a journey not a sprint. We will work slowly to uncover how your past impacts your current functioning.
