About
Many of the individuals and couples I work with feel stuck - whether in their relationships, within their family dynamics, past traumas, or difficult emotional patterns like depression or anxiety. Some feel disconnected from their sense of identity or purpose, or are navigating a major life transition. They know something needs to change but aren’t quite sure how to begin. My practice is grounded in exploring these experiences with curiosity and compassion. Together, we take a closer look at what's contributing to these challenges and begin to build a path toward clarity and self-understanding. My primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen and understood - this is where meaningful change happens. From there, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques, grounded in evidence-based, resilience-oriented approaches to support your healing and empower you to live with greater courage and authenticity. My style is relational, collaborative, and practical. As a clinical social worker, I approach this work with deep gratitude and humility, always honoring the vulnerability and strength it takes to share your story. If you're interested in working with me, I welcome a conversation to explore whats on your mind and what matters most to you.
