Accepting New Clients

"Even our hardest patterns are attempts to stay connected,
they just need new ways to be heard."

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to shift, even after trying to figure things out on their own. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, identity questions, or the impact of past experiences that still show up in the present. I believe healing happens when we feel understood, not judged, and when we can safely explore both our pain and our strengths. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move toward something that feels more aligned.

My Approach

How I Work in the
Therapy Room

I'm warm and supportive, but also direct when it's helpful. I'll engage with you, offer observations, and gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Our work will be collaborative, with space for both processing and skill-building. Clients often say sessions feel grounding, honest, and productive.

Modalities I Use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Attachment-Based

Is This You?

You're ready for change, even if it feels a little uncomfortable
You want clearer boundaries but don't know how to hold them
You notice patterns in your life, but can't seem to break them
You're ready to understand yourself in a deeper, more compassionate way

If that resonates, we might be a great fit.

A Bit About Me

Outside of sessions, I spend a lot of time with friends, making art, and getting outside whenever I can. I value creativity and connection, and I try to build those into my everyday life.
