Currently accepting individual and couples clients with newly extended availability!

I'm here to hold a space that is empathetic, non-judgmental, and genuinely yours!

I believe in a collaborative approach to counseling built on genuine partnership, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to your growth. My goal is to walk alongside you through the peaks and valleys of life, offering a confidential, non-judgmental space where you feel truly safe to speak and be heard. I hold unconditional positive regard for every person I work with, tailoring our work to your specific needs, goals, and pace.

I draw from ACT to build psychological flexibility and reconnect clients with what matters most. I also use Parts Work, rooted in Gestalt therapy, which invites a compassionate look at the different sides of ourselves, especially the ones that feel at odds. I am trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and have seen it make a remarkable difference for clients carrying the weight of trauma, often bringing relief from PTSD symptoms and the anxiety and depression that travel alongside it.

One of the most meaningful parts of this work is supporting clients through relational growth and identity development. Watching someone find their voice, strengthen their connections, and step more fully into who they are: that never gets old.
