With over 5 years of experience as a therapist (including my time as an LMSW), I've worked with a wide range of people across all stages of life. So much of the work I do happens at a threshold — that space between where someone has been and where they're trying to go. Maybe you're in the middle of a life transition that's left you feeling lost. Maybe you and your partner keep circling the same argument. Maybe you're a woman who's spent so long caring for everyone else that you've lost track of your own needs. Or maybe your family feels stuck in patterns everyone can feel but no one can quite name. Whether I'm working with an individual, a couple, or a family, my goal is to help clients find their voice, strengthen their relationships, and build a life that feels grounded and intentional. I offer a collaborative, insight-oriented space where clients can explore what's holding them at that threshold and find their way through it.

Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.

I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

You deserve a space to reflect, process, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're grappling with uncertainty, grief, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and authenticity. If you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others, I would be honored to support you.

In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.

We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.
