Seeking therapy can feel daunting, and I want to acknowledge your courage in taking this brave step forward! If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself or exhausted from trying to hold it all together, therapy can offer a space to slow down and reconnect with who you truly are beneath the surface of anxiety, people pleasing, masking, and perfectionism. I primarily work with young adult women, students, and folks in their 20s and 30s who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or looking for an affirming environment to process, heal, and come home to themselves.

As a relational therapist, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic connection that can serve as a catalyst for deep healing. I bring warmth, curiosity, playfulness, and calm into the therapeutic space to create an inviting atmosphere where you feel genuinely seen and understood. I often work with folks navigating the complexities of young adulthood, and in addition, I support children, adolescents, and adults in other stages of life. I strive to offer intentional, collaborative care that moves at your pace and honors your autonomy every step of the way. I truly value offering an empowering space that fosters deep insight and self-compassion, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and experience meaningful growth.

The foundation of my work is rooted in person-centered, relational, attachment-based, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed care, while drawing from somatic practices, IFS-informed perspectives, and other evidence-based approaches such as ACT, CBT, and DBT. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, I help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen resilience, and move toward a life that feels truly authentic and aligned with who they are becoming.
