My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, grounded in relational psychodynamic and humanistic principles. I emphasize the therapeutic relationship as a space for healing, exploring how past relational patterns influence present experiences, while supporting clients growth through empathy, authenticity, and deep emotional attunement. I explore existentially, helping clients establish meaning in their lives so they can transcend suffering. I believe my job is to help clients undo the loneliness they often feel by being with them in their pain and not running away from it.
Past patients have sought help with complex trauma histories and the challenges that come with them, such as difficulties in relationships, emotional dysregulation, chronic shame, and a fragmented or unstable sense of self. I’ve also helped patients that struggle with trust, boundary-setting, and persistent feelings of emptiness or disconnection. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and somatic complaints.
My clients often remark that I am empathetic and authentic. If you think we would work well together, please reach out to schedule an appointment.

Personal Interests
I used to work in a completely different field before becoming a therapist—ask me about it! I’m an avid reader and always have a book recommendation (especially if you like memoirs). I love walking and exploring, and find nature to be one of my favorite forms of self-care. I am a great cook.
