Stepping into therapy can feel like a big leap, and I want you to know that wherever you are in your journey, you are not alone. My role as a therapist isn’t to fix you because you are not broken, but to walk alongside you as you explore the parts of yourself that may be hurting, stuck, questioning, or simply seeking clarity. I bring warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and a bit of humor into the room, creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. My approach is rooted in collaboration. I believe you are the expert on your life, and together we’ll connect the dots, unpack stories that no longer serve you, and begin to rewrite the ones that empower you. I specialize in supporting people through life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity exploration. This includes working with individuals in polyamorous or non-monogamous dynamics, new parents, and those navigating grief, anxiety, depression, or questions of self-worth. I also have extensive experience with the LGBTQIA+ community and those exploring gender, sexuality, and belonging. For individuals facing substance use and recovery, I offer a nonjudgmental and compassionate space to reconnect with self-trust and healing. My therapeutic style blends collaborative language systems, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman techniques, and solution-focused approaches. I also integrate mindfulness and psychoeducation to support self-agency, autonomy, and lasting empowerment. I believe healing begins when we are truly seen and heard, and I am here to walk beside you as you reclaim your story and recognize the strength that is already within you.
