I work with individuals and couples facing many of life's everyday struggles: anxiety, depression, stress, career and life transitions, self-esteem, identity questions, relationship conflict, and parenting. Alongside that broader work, I have particular experience supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum transitions, infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy and infant loss, grief, and the hormonal and identity shifts of perimenopause and menopause.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Clients often tell me they appreciate a space where they do not feel judged or pressured to have it all figured out. I primarily work from an attachment and family systems perspective, helping you understand how relationships, life experiences, and the stories we carry shape the way we see ourselves and connect with others. I may also incorporate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychoeducation, always tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In our sessions, you can expect me to be engaged, curious, and supportive. I will ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns, gently challenge beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and offer practical tools you can use outside of therapy. My goal is not to fix you. It is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident navigating whatever season of life you are in. We do meaningful work together, and there is also room for laughter, humor, and celebrating the small victories along the way.
