You are looking for a therapist who is approachable, relatable, attentive, and actively engaged in session. Someone who can make you feel seen and understood in a safe and inclusive space, while also challenging you to see things from new perspectives. Whether you are feeling disconnected from yourself and your surroundings, finding that anxious thoughts steal the joy from what would otherwise be positive experiences, or if you identify as a motherless mother or daughter, we will explore your feelings through a collaborative and judgment-free process to help you grow into the best version of yourself.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and personalized to your specific needs. It is rooted in attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy to promote the growth of self-compassion and insight. I utilize my training in evidence-based practices, such as Interpersonal Therapy, to teach you concrete tools to connect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I am warm and empathetic, and will sometimes invite you to see things from different view points. In this way, you can make sense of behavior and thinking patterns that no longer serve you by illuminating where they may have started in your past. I look forward to holding space for the exploration of your emotional healing and personal growth.
