About me

You do not have to arrive in therapy with clarity. Sometimes clarity is what we build together. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation—one where you don't need the right words, a clear plan, or everything figured out before you begin. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and the pressure that can come with achievement and carrying significant responsibility. Many of the people I work with are capable, responsible, and accustomed to being the person others rely on. On the outside, they may appear to be managing everything well. Underneath, they may feel exhausted, disconnected from themselves, uncertain about what they need, or tired of repeating patterns they don't fully understand. My role is to help you slow down enough to understand what's happening beneath the surface—what may be shaping your thoughts, relationships, decisions, and responses. Because when we can see a pattern more clearly, we have more choice about whether we want to keep living from it. My style is warm, honest, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I won't expect you to become someone new. Our work is about helping you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters to you, and build a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and genuinely your own

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly organized story, know exactly where to begin, or have your goals figured out. We'll talk about what's happening in your life now, what has been weighing on you, important experiences and relationships that may provide context, and what you hope could be different. I'll ask questions, but this isn't an interrogation and we don't need to cover your entire life in 50 minutes. We may begin noticing patterns or themes together, but the first session is primarily about understanding you and establishing a starting point for our work. It's also your opportunity to ask me questions and get a sense of whether my style feels like a good fit for you. By the end of our first few conversations, we'll begin developing a clearer direction for therapy together—what we're working toward, what may be keeping you stuck, what strengths you already have, and how we'll know the work is helping. You don't need clarity before you begin. We can build it togethe

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is helping people see the patterns underneath what they're experiencing. Sometimes we know we're anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or repeating the same relationship dynamic—we just don't understand why it keeps happening. I tend to listen for both what is being said and what may be happening underneath it. I'm curious about the beliefs, experiences, relationships, expectations, and protective patterns that have shaped how you learned to move through the world. I balance compassion with honesty. I'll support you, but I'll also respectfully challenge you, ask questions that invite deeper reflection, and help you notice when your choices may not be aligned with what you say you want. My goal isn't for you to become dependent on therapy. It's for you to develop greater self-awareness, trust yourself more deeply, make intentional choices, and build tools you can carry into your life long after our work together

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, racial issues, burnout, current and historical trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, engaged in therapy and willingness to grow, high-achieving individuals who can feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves and want support creating healthier, more meaningful lives for themselves and others.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes emotional safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment. I recognize how past experiences can impact emotions, relationships, behaviors, and coping patterns, and I work with clients at a pace that feels supportive and respectful to them.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use ACT to help clients build psychological flexibility, manage difficult thoughts and emotions, and reconnect with their values. Together, we focus on developing healthier coping strategies while creating meaningful, value-driven change in daily life.

Experiential Therapy

I incorporate experiential techniques to help clients process emotions, increase self-awareness, and explore patterns in a more active and engaging way. This may include reflection exercises, mindfulness, role-play, or other interactive approaches tailored to each client’s needs.

Somatic

I incorporate somatic approaches to help clients better understand the connection between the mind and body. Together, we explore how stress, trauma, and emotions may show up physically while building grounding skills, nervous system awareness, and healthier ways to feel safe and regulated.

Psychodynamic

I use a psychodynamic approach to help clients explore how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may impact their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to increase insight, self-awareness, and emotional understanding to support long-term growth and healing.
