Are you having a hard time navigating life transitions? Or struggling with reconciling past trauma? I'm here to help address life challenges in a way that feels meaningful and authentic, in an environment where you feel safe and supported to explore what matters most to you. As your therapist, you can expect me to listen attentively, be curious about your experience, and ask questions that help us work toward your goals in therapy.
I specialize in therapy focusing on trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, navigating difficult relationships, identity, sex and porn addiction, and life transitions, such as relationship changes, leaving home, or starting out in a new location or phase of life. I am passionate about working with teens, adults, and couples.
Life can be so wonderful and so challenging at the same time. Therapy is an opportunity to step back and reflect on challenges, build awareness about what we want out of life, and nurture the skills we need to build that life and become the person we want to be. I'm here to help my clients navigate that journey, and be a source of support in a safe place.

My approach varies based on each individual's unique needs, which may evolve over the course of therapy. I tend to implement a blended approach - with some depth psychology (such as psychodynamic psychotherapy) and some problem-focused approaches (such as CBT and DBT) - in order to offer clients modalities targeted at the specific issues and challenges they're facing.
