I love working with clients who are willing to engage, explore, and get in the trenches—engaging in a holistic exploration of mind, body, and spirit, while also considering the impact of their social environment. I value curiosity, openness, and the willingness to try new approaches that may feel unfamiliar but hold the potential for transformation. I see therapy as an opportunity to create a sacred, safe space where clients can lay down the weight they’ve been carrying, begin to unpack their struggles, and rediscover their path forward. Witnessing those moments of empowerment and growth, where clarity emerges from the struggle, is truly an honor.

Therapy is more than a reaction to illness; it is an intentional step toward wellness, healing, and prevention. It offers a chance to “come home”—peel back the layers of what no longer serves us, reconnect with our authentic selves, and align with the lives we want to lead. Whether navigating life’s transitions or simply seeking greater ease and clarity, therapy can provide a roadmap and tools for the journey ahead. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of the therapeutic alliance and act as a collaborative partner, meeting you where you are and integrating approaches that honor your unique needs. Together, we’ll work toward cultivating resilience, self-awareness, and growth, so you can move through life with more confidence, purpose, and connection.
