About

I became a therapist because I believe deeply in the power of authentic human connection. I am fascinated by relationships: how they shape us, challenge us, and influence the way we see ourselves and the people around us. The relationships we grow up with, the ones we choose, and the ones we struggle in all teach us something about our needs, expectations, and ways of connecting. They also all have one thing in common: us. Our quirks, experiences, patterns, values, and the stories we've come to believe about ourselves all inform the way we connect with others. Therapy isn't about having someone tell you how to fix your life or your relationship. It's about creating space and visibility to understand what you're experiencing, how it is impacting you, and what feels important to explore and/or change. I often think of therapy as a lighthouse: steady, present, and guiding. It doesn't steer your ship for you, but it reminds you that even in the thickest fog, there is still a way forward. This is where I have the privilege of joining you: creating that space to slow down, ask meaningful questions, help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that influence how you connect, communicate, and navigate life’s challenges.

I primarily work with adults who are navigating emotional and behavioral challenges, interpersonal conflict, relationship dissolutions, and other significant life transitions. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, addiction, and attachment and relational concerns. My clients often come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I place a strong emphasis on cultural humility, culturally responsive care, and collaboration in my clinical work.

Clients who work with me can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where it feels safe to be who you are, who you have been, and who you are becoming. I bring empathy, collaboration, and a sense of humor into the therapeutic space. Because I believe the strongest foundation for healing is the relationship we build together, that connection will always be my priority. Each session is thoughtfully shaped around your unique needs and goals. My approach draws from both psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives, giving us room to explore the deeper roots of your experiences while also creating practical tools you can use in daily life. Together, we will focus on developing healthier ways to cope, weaving those strategies into your routines, and building meaningful progress that lasts over time.
