About Me

I believe everyone carries within them the wisdom and strength needed to flourish, even if life’s circumstances make those resources feel out of reach. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with that resilience, uncover new perspectives, and work through the challenges that may be impacting your relationships, self-esteem, and sense of meaning so you can move toward the fulfilling life you deserve.

It’s an honor to be invited into the exploration of your inner world. Together, we’ll approach your experiences like curios detectives, uncovering the clues of the mind and body to try and solve the mystery of our psyche. My passion lies in helping people understand their unique needs, emotions, and nervous system so they can release self-limiting beliefs, nurture self-compassion, and feel more confident living in alignment with their authentic selves. Using an experiential, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach, we’ll build a safe and collaborative space where healing can unfold at your pace.

I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, and identity exploration. Alongside talk therapy, I also offer art therapy as a gentle way to express and process what may be difficult to put into words. Art making can open the door to insight, mindfulness, and emotional release—no artistic skill required!

Above all, I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space where you feel truly seen, valued, and supported. As you take steps on your healing journey, you will be met with compassion, empathy, and respect every step of the way. You are worthy of healing, and together we can uncover the pathways that help you thrive.
