I know first-hand the vulnerability it takes to seek support and the courage it takes to make change. Together, we can navigate anxiety, trauma, grief + loss, life transitions, existential crises, and relationship difficulties. I’m here to help you develop self-awareness, nurture self-compassion, and cultivate resilience so you can realign with your true self and thrive.

I work with individuals and couples motivated to improve their relationships with themselves and others. My best-fit individual clients are often women 25+ experiencing high-functioning anxiety, the effects of complex trauma, or grief and loss. I specialize in helping clients navigate the rocky terrain of grief with tenderness and compassion.

Couples that tend to benefit most from therapy with me want to revitalize their emotional and physical connections or rebuild trust after a betrayal. I enjoy facilitating clients’ self-exploration as they reconnect with their authentic selves and rediscover the simple joys of life.

My style is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. You can expect me to strategically adapt my approach to meet your unique needs. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering space in which you are welcome exactly as you are. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and fulfillment.
