Therapy with me is a soft place to land, the gentle push of trying something new, and the compassionate curiosity of allowing yourself to try again. My hope is that therapy will be a soul-nourishing experience where you can feel honest, understood, reflective, and hopeful.

We do this by creating space that supports both healing and growth. My role as a therapist is to listen well, ask good questions, notice and name patterns, bring knowledge and resources, and gently challenge you when it serves your goals. Some of our sessions may involve slowing down to make sense of painful experiences. Other times we might focus on learning new skills, or processing the day to day chaos. We'll decide together what feels most helpful. Your feedback helps me be the therapist you need, and I will always center you as the expert of your own experience. 

My past experiences working in addiction and incarceration, domestic violence, and restorative justice shape how I understand the systems we live in and how they impact our lives. I care deeply about justice, equity, and meeting people where they are. Therapy is how I contribute to my larger belief that all parts of each person’s full identity deserve to be affirmed. I will always value and center your humanity - offering you grace, honoring your self-determination, and holding genuine belief in your ability to make your life meaningful and beautiful. 

I use a relational style in our therapy, and use elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. I also provide couples therapy with a strong focus on improving communication and reshaping relationship patterns.
