"Therapy is about understanding the self that you are... to let go of the limiting stories you've told yourself about who you are.” -Lori Gottlieb

Whether you’re experiencing relationship conflict, anxiety, or the lingering impacts of trauma, I will meet you where you are. We will identify patterns and themes that keep you stuck and collaborate on ways to feel more connected, grounded, confident, and energized. With active listening and reflection, we will face the hard things together in session; you don't have to do this work alone. I see you as the expert of your life, and no two people’s journeys are the same, so I may not have all the answers and solutions, but I am here to journey with you as you find them.

My approach to therapy

I work best with adults, young couples, and families who are open to being challenged and willing to put in the hard work to experience real change, growth, and healing outside of session. My sessions will include humor, curiosity, sass, and genuineness. My authentic therapeutic style suits those who are looking for a more collaborative and conversational experience in session. I offer both in person and virtual sessions.

My work is informed by an anti-oppression, LGBTQIA2+ -affirming, and sex-positive lens. I use multiple therapy modalities, including: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-focused CBT), Internal Family Systems therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Gottman Couples Therapy.
