I see each client as a universe—complex, layered, and entirely unique. The question is never "what works for people like you?" but "what do you, specifically, need?" We figure that out together. Many of the people I work with are navigating experiences that have fundamentally changed how they understand themselves: illness, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, relationship changes, identity questions, or life transitions that leave them feeling untethered. Others simply sense that something feels "off" even when life appears fine on the outside. If you're looking not only to feel better, but to understand yourself more deeply, we may be a good fit. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experience with a life-threatening illness. Living through that season changed the questions I asked about identity, meaning, resilience, and what it means to move forward after life no longer looks the way you expected. That experience eventually led me from a career in design to earning a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Looking back, it feels less like changing careers and more like following a path that had been unfolding all along. I specialize in working with adults navigating cancer and other serious illnesses, grief and bereavement, trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented, drawing from Jungian psychology, somatic awareness, existential and meaning-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together we'll explore not only symptoms, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, relationships, and experiences that shape them. I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new; it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath survival, expectations, and old ways of coping. Clients often appreciate that I can sit with life's hardest realities without becoming overly clinical or overly solemn. Therapy can hold profound grief, uncertainty, and trauma while still making room for curiosity, humor, and genuine human connection.
