Life doesn’t give us time to process everything as it happens. We adapt, we move on, we survive. But sometimes, what once helped us cope begins to hold us back. In therapy, I offer space to slow down and gently explore those patterns, so you can start to understand your story with a little more compassion and a little less judgment. Together, we’ll notice how your emotions, body, and relationships hold clues to what you need most. Therapy can mean many things, such as clarifying what truly matters to you, processing grief and trauma, or simply learning to sit with yourself in a new way. It’s a self-reflective journey that individuals, couples, families, and communities take, often discovering that growth can be both enriching and challenging at once. As both a therapist and someone who has been in therapy, I've found power in embracing these paradoxes. Because healing rarely moves in a straight line, it invites us to hold contradictions with compassion. You can be both excited and nervous to begin something new, or feel both sadness and relief when letting go of what no longer fits. Therapy helps us honor paradoxes and contradictions by valuing complexity. It recognizes that multiple truths can exist at the same time, and that holding them is often where change begins. My approach in therapy is strengths-based and honors how multifaceted, adaptable, and inherently intelligent our minds and bodies are. My work is primarily grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative, and solution-focused therapies that help you connect with your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and move toward a life that feels more intentional and aligned with your values. At the same time, I don’t limit therapy to just talk-based methods. I often integrate body-based practices, mindfulness, and creative tools like music, movement, and art. Most of my experience involves working with youth, families, and LGBTQ+ communities. I genuinely enjoy supporting individuals as they find their place and voice. Through this work, I understand that the goal of therapy is not necessarily to feel better right away, but to be more present to ourselves. During our work together, my hope is to provide you with a gentle space where you can slow down, listen to yourself in a new way, find your voice, and notice needs that may have been quiet for a long time.
