About me

My hope is that you feel truly seen and at ease as we explore what brings you to therapy. I listen with care and intuition, drawing from both lived experience and clinical knowledge to support your healing. At the core, my work is about helping you build resilience in a world that can feel overwhelming—so you can show up more fully for yourself, and maybe even help make the world a little kinder, too. If it reads that I am fully book or the time you desire isn't listed, please reach out. I may have space not visible on this site. I look forward to hearing from you.

Get to know me

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

Once we’ve taken care of the basics—like informed consent and paperwork—I’m here to really get to know you. I want to hear your story, understand what’s been weighing on you, and explore how I can support your healing. This is also a time for you to ask any questions and get a feel for how we’ll work together. We’ll also talk about what it looks like to build momentum in therapy. Meeting at the same time each week (with some flexibility, of course!) helps us find a rhythm and create the consistency that real growth needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I excel at deep, intuitive listening and strive to create a space where you feel truly heard and safe to share your story. My approach is grounded in understanding your unique place in the world, weaving your lived experiences into our work together. I bring practical, relatable insight drawn from both professional training and real-life experience, especially when supporting young women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and complex trauma. My mission is to walk alongside you with care and consistency, helping you build resilience and move toward long-term healing and growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I primarily support women ages 18 to 35 who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, or the layered impact of trauma that often accompanies both. These challenges can ripple into relationships, work, and self-worth—leaving you feeling scattered, stuck, or alone in your struggles. My clients are on a journey toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being, and I walk alongside them with steady support and deep care. While my focus is on young women, I welcome anyone who’s ready to grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves. If you’re committed to your personal growth, I’m here to help you find your way—with compassion, presence, and belief in your potential.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In my years of practice, I’ve seen how powerful it is when clients feel truly heard and respected. In a person-centered approach, you set the pace and direction of our work. My role is to provide an open, nonjudgmental space where your voice leads and your lived experience is honored—because lasting change happens when you feel safe to be fully yourself.

Psychodynamic

I have extensive training and experience in psychodynamic therapy, which explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your present life. With this approach, I help you uncover the “why” behind your feelings and behaviors, so you can break free from patterns that no longer serve you. Many of my clients find this deeper exploration helps them understand themselves in ways that create lasting emotional shifts.

Eclectic

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and with varied needs. Drawing from multiple modalities allows me to adapt our work to you rather than fitting you into a single model. Whether you need insight, skills, or body-based work, I can integrate the methods that best fit your goals at each stage of therapy.

Somatic

I have cultivated a diverse set of somatic (body-based) techniques through ongoing training and experience with clients who benefit from nervous system regulation work. These practices help you connect with your body, release stored tension, and feel more grounded. I’ve found that somatic work creates a strong foundation for clients to process emotions, heal trauma, and approach challenges with a greater sense of agency.
