Great to meet you!

I work with individuals who want to process, not just patch things up. My clients are deep thinkers and feelers who seek clarity and meaning as they move through transitions, carry generational trauma, or sense an inner pull toward change. Together, we explore the unseen layers of your story, learning to sit with discomfort, honor emotions, and hear what’s been quietly asking for attention. For those open to faith, I believe God meets us in these tender moments, not with answers, but with gentle presence and opportunities for renewal and grace.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me isn’t about rushing to fix what’s “wrong.” It’s about walking together through your internal landscape, the tangled paths, the overgrown roots, the sunlight that filters through when you least expect it. Through narrative and somatic approaches, CBT, DBT, and IFS-informed approach, we learn to listen to the parts of you that have been silenced or overlooked.

What you can expect from me

Together, we slow down and notice what’s been hidden beneath survival. The parts of you longing to be seen, heard, and held with compassion. If you’re ready to explore your story and uncover what healing could look like for you, I would be honored to walk beside you.
