Nice to meet you

I believe we heal in relationship. We’re wired for connection, and this truth is central to why therapy works. My style is relational and attuned—I’m warm, present, and engaged. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relational pain, active substance use, and invalidating early relationships. I welcome all identities and have experience with ADHD, identity development, sexuality, gender identity, and life transitions. LGBTQ, poly, and kink identities welcome. Together, we’ll deepen self-trust and move toward a more connected, empowered life.

Interests

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends—whether we’re sharing a meal, playing games, or going for a long walk. Those simple moments really help me feel grounded and recharged. I also find a lot of joy in being out in nature and listening to music. They inspire me, help me keep things in perspective, and are some of my favorite ways to unwind.
