About Me

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep curiosity about human relationships and a desire to understand how we create meaning in our lives amid uncertainty. Over time, I’ve learned that certainty is rarely guaranteed—and yet, we must still choose a direction. That process has taught me to live with doubt, to embrace complexity, and to stay connected to myself and others along the way. 

I bring that orientation into the therapy room. I work from the belief that meaningful growth happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships. I see the therapeutic relationship as a vessel for growth—a place where old patterns can be explored, new insights can emerge, and self-compassion can be cultivated.

My aim is to create a space where the full range of your experience is welcome: your questions, your fears, your contradictions, and your desires. My approach is warm, grounded, and engaged. I bring my full presence into the room and prioritize a collaborative, relational process—one where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as we explore patterns, navigate challenges, and foster meaningful change.

More About My Practice

My practice is integrative, grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories while drawing from cognitive-behavioral, third wave, and humanistic perspectives. I believe our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and engage with the world—and that therapy offers a chance to understand and revise those patterns. Whether working with individuals or couples, I invite reflection, curiosity, and honesty into our work—making space for both past wounds and present possibilities. Ultimately, I believe that the best therapy is co-created, responsive, and tailored to each person’s unique needs.

I also bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. I recognize that identity—race, gender, age, religion, sexuality, class, ability—profoundly shapes our inner lives and our relationships. I strive to engage with these complexities with openness and humility, honoring both the pain and the resilience that emerge from navigating systems of inequality. In the therapy room, I aim to hold space for the tensions, questions, and possibilities that identity can evoke.

My Specialties

I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating relationship concerns, life transitions, identity exploration, and emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, and grief. I have particular experience working with clients processing complex trauma, attachment wounds, and existential questions about purpose and meaning.

My work often includes exploring how clients relate to themselves and others, with a focus on fostering emotional insight, deepening self-compassion, and cultivating more intentional ways of living and connecting.
