I am excited to work with clients who feel ready for change, are curious about themselves, their relationships, and the ways in which their experiences have shaped them. I have collaborated with individuals across the lifespan and families across their development to find greater joy, acceptance, and meaning within themselves. My clients describe me as energetic, compassionate, patient, and creative. I meet clients where they are and endeavor to walk with them through life's ups and downs. In my work I draw inspiration from Robyn Gobel, Pema Chödrön, and Dr. Raquel Martin.

I am honored to be exploring your healing journey with you. We live in a world where mental healthcare is stigmatized and self-care is a fix-all when what we really need is community care. Healing happens within the context of relationships. I hope to build therapeutic relationships with clients to help them flourish and meet their goals.

I’m a therapist who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and challenged in a supportive way. I work with individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with real, honest conversation. I will help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and take accountability—while also giving yourself grace. My goal is to help you not just cope, but truly grow and feel empowered in your life.
