I’m here to support adults navigating life’s challenges—including anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, grief, and LGBTQ+ concerns. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by burnout, caregiving responsibilities, or the toll of people-pleasing, you’re not alone. You deserve support, and I’m here to help.

In addition to being a therapist, I’m a trained Life Coach, and I enjoy working with people who are seeking greater fulfillment and meaning, particularly during periods of transition or self-discovery.

My approach is integrative and collaborative. I draw from a range of modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), compassion-based practices, mindfulness, EMDR, somatic therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We’ll work together to understand your experiences and move toward the life you want, in a space that’s warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in respect for your unique path.
