Therapy is a place to explore your experiences with curiosity and care.

Together, we can explore the ways stress or trauma show up in your day-to-day life, the impact of relationship patterns, and learn tools that help you feel more grounded and supported.

My therapy approach is highly collaborative, understanding your unique experience and needs. I am trained in evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). You bring your experiences and insight; I bring compassion, curiosity, and psycho-education to help you live with more ease and achieve your goals and dreams.
