About my approach

As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, I walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we explore your unique experiences, identify patterns, and develop personalized strategies to help you move toward a more fulfilling life.


What clients say

Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding and validating — a space where emotions make sense, pain is never “too much,” and growth feels possible without pressure or judgment.


Guiding idea / Point of therapy

Two things can be true at once. You can feel overwhelmed and still be resilient. Healing isn’t linear, and it doesn’t require perfection — only willingness.


Tools & frameworks I use

Narrative Therapy • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) • Somatic / Mind-Body Approaches • Gottman Method


What you can expect in a session with me

Therapy with me is collaborative and client-centered. We’ll work together to identify unhealthy patterns, develop coping strategies, strengthen communication, and build emotional regulation and self-compassion.


If you’re nervous to start…

That makes sense. We’ll move at your pace, and you remain the expert on your life. My role is to support you with presence, perspective, and practical tools so you feel more empowered over time.


A belief that shapes my work

You can struggle and still move forward. Healing happens through connection, empathy, and understanding — not by doing things “perfectly.”


Outside of therapy you’ll find me…

Exploring national parks, cooking outdoors, and camping. I love experiencing the beauty of nature and sharing a good meal under the stars.

Note: If you’re in crisis or need immediate support, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
