About
Counseling works when there’s a genuine connection. That’s why my approach centers on building a trusting relationship. Healing starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and supported. I'm an open, direct, and collaborative therapist who offers a judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel accepted, not evaluated. As we work together, we’ll get curious about who you are, how your past shows up in your present, and how the systems around you affect your well-being. Along the way, I’ll share tools and strategies to help you move forward with more confidence and clarity. I’ve supported people through all kinds of life transitions like shifting identities, relationship changes, faith deconstruction, aging concerns, and significant life events. I also work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and Autistic burnout. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective and work with clients age 16 and older. If you’re looking for a compassionate companion on your journey of self-discovery, please reach out.
