Supporting individuals and couples in developing self-compassion, presence, and emotional clarity.
Welcome! I love supporting others through the many peaks and valleys of the human experience. Feel free to request a consultation below.
BOOK NOW
Life, like each of us, holds multitudes. During times of transition—whether in identity, relationships, roles, or seasons—we can feel stuck or untethered. You may feel disconnected from your partner, unsure of who you are becoming, or uncertain how to move forward. These moments are tender, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
I work with individuals, couples, and families through these shifts, offering a grounded, compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most. I hold deep respect and curiosity for your unique experience and am committed to meeting you where you are, with care and intention.

My hope is to help you relate to yourself with greater self-compassion, understand your inner world and relationships more clearly, and envision a life guided by connection and joy. Growth happens in safe, supportive relationships, and I am honored to offer that space to you.
Approach
Navigating life’s complexities can feel overwhelming, yet within these struggles there are opportunities for growth and deeper understanding. My approach to therapy is rooted in hope and the belief that even in difficult moments, you can discover new strengths and clarity. I draw from attachment-based, narrative, and mindfulness-informed approaches, with an emphasis on connection, meaning, and grounding in the natural world. My goal is to walk alongside you with curiosity and care as you move toward healing and meaningful change.
Individual Therapy for Adults and Teens
Individual therapy supports personal growth, healing, and deeper self-understanding. Together, we create a safe, compassionate space to explore your values, patterns, family history, and inner world. We’ll navigate challenges and develop new ways of relating to yourself. My goal is to help you trust your own wisdom so you can move through life in a way that feels grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are.

Couples / Relational Therapy
Couples and relational therapy provides a supportive space for you and your partner to deepen understanding of yourselves and the unique dynamic you share. We will gently explore the patterns shaping your relationship and your emotional experiences, while practicing new ways to communicate and connect. My goal is to help you navigate conflict, heal emotional wounds, and move forward with greater clarity, care, and connection.
Relational therapy can also benefit other close relationships, including siblings, co-parents, adult children and parents, friends, or business partners, by helping you communicate more clearly, notice patterns that get in the way, and deepen your connection.
