Sessions with me are rooted in authenticity, respect and real connection — with space for vulnerability, humor, and whatever else you bring into the room. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or navigating a life transition, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences at your own pace.

My approach is collaborative, attuned and supportive. I meet you exactly where you are, and together we move toward where you want to be. Much of our work will involve exploring the roots of your current patterns — understanding how your early experiences, relationships and environment have shaped who you are today. At the same time, we'll identify and build on your existing strengths, helping you feel more empowered, self-aware and equipped to create the future you want.

I work with young adults, teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, relational struggles, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, complex family dynamics, grief and trauma. I recognize that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum, and I honor the cultural, systemic and interpersonal factors that shape your lived experience. I draw on psychodynamic therapy, CBT, ACT and mindfulness practices.

It's okay if you don't know where to start. Reaching out is the first step — and a powerful one.
