About My Work
A lot of clients I work with come to session to learn how to live more authentically. Maybe it's how you show up for yourself, how you connect with others, or how you move through the world. Oftentimes it's gotten harder to let someone in, feel like enough, or know where your life is going.
I work with adults and couples navigating self-worth, intimacy and connection, and life transitions. My clients are ready to look honestly at the patterns that are keeping them stuck, even when it's uncomfortable.
My approach to therapy is attachment-based, relational, and trauma-informed. You can expect sessions with me to be conversational, exploratory, and easy-going.
Therapy works best when it feels safe and like a genuine fit. These are my top priorities for our sessions together. Please reach out to have a quick chat if working together feels right for you.

About Me
My own path into therapy started over ten years ago as a client. That experience gave me a deep respect for anyone willing to do this work, and it shapes how I show up in the room today.
Outside of session, I'm usually found surrounded by friends and family, on a yoga mat, or out catching some live music or comedy.
