I’m a therapist who believes healing happens in connection—real, messy, human connection. My approach draws from AEDP and relational modalities, which basically means we’ll do more than just talk about your feelings; we’ll actually feel them together, with curiosity, safety, and the occasional creative detour. I see therapy as a place where your authentic self gets to breathe, stumble, laugh, cry, and discover resilience you didn’t know you had. Trauma may have left its mark, but I believe we can meet it with empathy, humility, and respect for the courage it takes to show up.

There’s also something ineffable—almost magical—that happens in therapy: those moments where words fall short, but something shifts, lightens, or softens inside. I treasure those moments, and I love helping people notice them too. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I’ll bring authenticity, honesty, and maybe even a little humor to our work, because healing means opening to all our feelings – not just the heavy ones. Together, we’ll make space for both the hard stuff and the joy that can grow alongside it.

Before entering the counseling profession, I spent over two decades immersed in the visual and performing arts—collaborating, performing, teaching, and holding space for others’ somatic and emotional expression. This work helped me to explore beneath the surface, engendered in me an appreciation of liminal spaces, and planted the seeds of a future in helping by encouraging people to access parts of themselves that long to be seen. These experiences continue to inform my stance “in the room” and allow me to build strong, attuned relationships with older teens, adult individuals and couples navigating life transitions, identity exploration, grief, relational-trauma, chronic pain, sexual and relationship challenges as well as folks who just feel “stuck ” or long for a sturdier sense of self.
