I know how it feels to contemplate going to therapy, and I always found it both scary and intimidating. That’s why I aim to make the process as relaxed and down-to-earth as possible. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I want you to do the same. As a person-centered and affirming therapist, I believe that we all deserve self-love, healthy and fulfilling relationships, and a life of purpose and joy. I believe that we can heal from past traumas, find our own power, and experience alignment in mind, body, and spirit. The work isn't easy, but I bring humor and humanity into it, and I value the therapeutic relationship.

Many people come to therapy seeking a deeper understanding of their patterns and the opportunity to create more freedom and choice in their lives. You might be feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or you may have a vague sense that there has to be something more to life. You may be seeking ways to reconnect with your body, process difficult emotions, navigate identity-related concerns, or manage the impacts of trauma, oppression, chronic illness, or loss. My work supports individuals who are ready to explore these issues in a compassionate space, and to discover what becomes available when we challenge what we know and venture off-map.
