Therapy is a space that we build together. My role is to hold a container for you to explore, feel, process, and heal without judgment and yours is to show up and be open. Because these conversations are inherently vulnerable, I believe it’s crucial to ground our relationship in safety, trust, and permission. In sessions I bring warmth, compassion, and curiosity and adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. You know yourself the best and together we will find meanings and narratives that resonate with you.

Making that initial appointment, taking that first step is most important.

Whether you are considering making changes for the first time or looking to maintain long-term growth, my goal is to walk alongside you on that path for continued self-discovery. The goal of therapy is to promote biopsychosocial-spiritual wellness built on your values and boundaries. Therapy works best when it is collaborative so my intention is to provide the space for you to express yourself freely and get to know yourself on a deeper level as we work towards a collective goal. I like to draw from a background of CBT skills, shame-resilience, and Internal Family Systems to empower the people I work with.
