I’m a warm, insight-oriented therapist who offers a steady, compassionate space for adults navigating grief, relational wounds, and the impact of growing up around emotional chaos or inconsistency. My approach is grounded in deep listening and curiosity—I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner experience, uncovering patterns that may have once been protective but now feel limiting. Together, we create room for new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your story. Healing, in my work, begins with being deeply seen and understood.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect a calm, collaborative space where there’s no pressure to say anything “just right.” I’ll invite you to share what’s bringing you in, at your own pace, and I’ll be curious about your history, your relationships, and what healing might look like for you. We’ll begin to get a feel for how it is to sit together—what feels safe, what feels uncertain—and you’ll have space to ask any questions. More than anything, I want you to feel met, not analyzed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths lie in my emotional attunement, steadiness, and ability to hold complexity without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen in our work—like they don’t have to perform or protect. I’m skilled at tracking subtle relational dynamics and helping clients put words to what’s felt but not yet fully known. I bring warmth, patience, a sprinkling of humor, and a deep respect for each person’s unique pace of healing.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I’m best positioned to support adults who are emotionally attuned, reflective, and carrying tender experiences—whether from recent grief, past trauma, or years of feeling like they had to hold everything together for others. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly aching for something to shift. I offer a space that’s steady and non-judgmental, where we can gently make sense of what’s been painful, and begin to reconnect with parts of you that may have gone quiet in the process of surviving.

Psychodynamic
You may find yourself repeating painful patterns in relationships, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling with a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Deep down, you may long for greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and more fulfilling relationships—but you might not be sure how to get there. You may sense that the past is shaping your present in ways that feel hard to name or change, and you're looking for a space where you can explore, heal, and grow with compassion and insight. I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can explore the deeper layers of your experience. Drawing from psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches, I help you uncover unconscious patterns, heal early wounds, and build emotional resilience. Together, we’ll move beyond symptom management toward lasting change—deeper connections. It takes courage to seek help and to imagine new ways of being with yourself and others. If you are feeling stuck, hurt, or simply ready for something more, you don’t have to walk the path alone. I would be honored to support you in building a freer, more compassionate relationship with yourself and the life you want to create. I look forward to meeting you!
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients connect with the different “parts” of themselves—especially the ones that carry pain, self-criticism, or protective defenses. By building a compassionate relationship with these parts, we create space for healing, clarity, and inner harmony. I guide clients toward accessing their Self—the calm, curious, and centered core within each person.
Attachment-based
I work from an attachment-informed lens, helping clients explore how early relational patterns shape their present-day experiences of connection, vulnerability, and trust. Our therapeutic relationship becomes a space to gently notice and understand these dynamics in real time—especially the push-pull between longing for closeness and fear of dependence. By staying attuned and grounded, I support clients in developing a more secure, compassionate relationship with themselves and others.
Grief Therapy
In grief work, I offer a steady, compassionate space where there’s no pressure to “move on” or grieve in a particular way. Together, we honor the complexity of your loss—whether it’s recent or long ago—and explore how it lives in your body, thoughts, and relationships. I help clients make room for both sorrow and meaning, trusting that healing doesn’t mean forgetting, but learning how to carry what’s been lost with tenderness and strength.
Relational
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationship. I pay close attention to the dynamic between us—how trust builds, how distance or closeness feels, and how old patterns might quietly replay in the room. I see therapy as a living, mutual process where insight grows not just through what we talk about, but through what unfolds between us. Together, we create a new relational experience—one that can feel safer, more honest, and more nourishing than what may have come before.
