I get it

I know from personal experience that changes of any kind – big or small, planned for or unexpected – can be destabilizing. I also believe they can be opportunities for introspection, healing, and growth. My goal is to provide the support you need to slow down, look inward, and ultimately move forward.

My approach

My clients describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. Whether you need a listening ear, a sounding board, or an honest outside opinion, I’ll approach our work with a combination of compassion, authenticity, and clinical skill.

I use an integrative approach grounded in relational and psychodynamic therapies. This means I’m curious about how past experiences show up in your relationships with yourself and others, and I’ll help you identify and challenge patterns that are no longer serving you. I also incorporate body-based techniques, mindfulness skills, and tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help you manage stressful situations, negative thinking, and difficult emotions.

resistance is mainly the fear of going somewhere you have not been
