I want therapy to be a place where you can finally exhale—a space where you don’t have to hide or hold anything back. My hope is that you’ll feel relief walking in, knowing this is somewhere you can wonder out loud, make sense of things, and be met with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in crisis response, as a victim advocate for survivors, and as an educator. These experiences have taught me how resourceful and resilient people really are—and that we’re all more than the hardest things we’ve lived through. It also reminded me that showing up as my full, human self matters. You don’t need a perfect therapist; you need someone who’s steady, present, and real.

In therapy, we might explore how old patterns and stories still shape you, and what could shift if they began to loosen. My work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based, and trauma-informed perspectives, always guided by what feels most helpful and meaningful to you. What we do together may change from session to session, but it always follows your pace and what feels ready to be explored. Whenever you’re ready, we can start right where you are.

When I am not holding space in the therapy office, I am holding a crochet hook, a coloring book, a coffee mug (probably two), or a leash—for my service dog, Demi, or my blind kitten, Joey. They keep me on my toes with their perfect mix of chaos and cuddles.
