About me

Maybe you are ...

Hoping to connect to your authentic self.

Seeking an independent and professional perspective.

Balancing a relationship with your parents and being a parent at the same time.

Adjusting to post-college life and are overwhelmed with finding your purpose.

Grieving relationships, friendships, or circumstances that have been lost.

Not even sure therapy is where you belong.

...you're in the right place!


Life can be full of both unexpected great joys and incredibly difficult challenges. I see you, trying your best to navigate this human experience. Sometimes having an outside, unbiased and supportive perspective can be helpful. My goal is to give you a safe space to express your worries, fears, and stress, where you feel heard. My preferred approach to therapy is holistic. In therapy, you and I work together to establish an authentic connection to support wellness in your life. My therapy style is warm, engaging, and supportive.

I have over 16 years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, career coaching, and major life transitions. You are the expert in your life, therapy is a container to help facilitate the growth and changes you desire.

Let's cultivate. Together.

I can’t thank her enough for helping me find my voice, my confidence and my self respect. I never felt judged, she seemed to ask all the right questions. And she let me talk. Freely. her advice was spot on. And she challenged me. she gave me the tools to move forward, and I’m so grateful
