Welcome!
We are all born with traits, tendencies and vulnerabilities that are then influenced and shaped by our experiences in the world. Sometimes those experiences can leave us feeling misunderstood, ashamed, or even alone. Through a collaborative therapy relationship, I believe we can work together to unpack the impact of our experiences, reflect on who we are, and recognize the strength we have to become the person we want to be.
I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of modern life. With firsthand experience in maintaining a relationship, parenting in the age of social media, and balancing a corporate job, I understand the unique challenges these roles present. I believe that self-reflection, though sometimes daunting, is a powerful tool for uncovering the answers we seek.
Our work will be led by you, the client. You will set the goals, and I will use attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, CBT, and mindfulness to provide support and encouragement as you begin to examine the areas of your experience that may be keeping you “stuck.” My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on creating a safe and supportive environment for personal growth and healing.
Together, we can work toward finding the clarity and resilience needed to thrive in all aspects of life.

How would you describe your counseling style?
I would describe my counseling style as “agile”. Counselors are often exposed to many different therapeutic approaches and modalities through their education and supervision, and some ultimately may identify one or two with which they really resonate. For me, picking one or two therapeutic styles feels a bit limiting – like I am reducing my own and my clients’ human complexity. None of us are just one thing, and sometimes we need different things. One client may need a more solution-oriented, directive approach. Another may need an empathic space and listening ear while they explore and process grief, trauma, or pain. Still another may be looking for someone to help them understand past experiences and uncover hidden patterns that are preventing them from getting what they want and need in current relationships. My goal is to get to know you and all your beautifully messy intricacies and then help you make sense of it all.
What’s something people may be surprised to learn about you?
I am a horror movie fan. I love a good ghost story – the more supernatural the better. If the story includes a psychological or emotional metaphor, I love it even more. My top three films are The Babadook, The Conjuring, and The Woman in Black. Highly recommend – 5 out of 5 stars.
