Welcome. Deciding to begin therapy can come with a mix of emotions—uncertainty, anxiety, maybe even fear. As a therapist, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step, and I hope to walk alongside you as you navigate your own journey. My approach to counseling is eclectic, drawing from various methods to best support your unique needs. I believe our past experiences shape how we show up in the present, and that exploring these layers can lead to powerful insight and growth. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that people—both children and adults—are resilient, and with the right support, can access the tools they need to move forward. In addition to addressing a range of mental health concerns, I have a particular understanding of issues related to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. These are deeply personal and complex areas, often connected to core questions of identity: Who am I? Where do I come from? I’ve completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, and I strive to offer a space where these stories can be explored with care. You might be wondering whether we’d be a good fit—and that’s an important question: *You’re hoping to work with a therapist who is warm, supportive, and able to gently challenge you when needed. *You value an eclectic, individualized approach to counseling that draws from multiple methods to meet your unique needs. *You appreciate a strengths-based perspective that recognizes resilience in both children and adults. *You’re looking for someone who values mutual respect and time, and who can both hold space and help you move toward solutions. *You want a therapist you can laugh with, cry with, and grow with—someone who is present, engaged, and committed to the work alongside you. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Most people don’t come to therapy because they “have anxiety.” They come because something in their life feels stuck — and often, that place is their relationships, work, life, and self identity. I specialize in relationship-focused therapy for individuals navigating conflict, emotional distance, repeated communication breakdowns, or uncertainty about the future of their partnership. Sometimes a partner is unwilling to attend therapy. Sometimes you are unsure whether the relationship can improve. My work helps you gain clarity, emotional stability, and direction — even if your partner is not in the room. I take a structured and direct approach. I do not simply validate feelings or revisit the same arguments. We identify the interaction patterns driving the distress, clarify attachment dynamics, and strengthen your ability to respond differently within your relationships. As emotional regulation improves, conflict becomes more predictable and less destabilizing. Many individuals I work with initially present with anxiety, stress, or frustration, and then we discover that the root issues lie within relational patterns, self identity, career stress, and deep rooted patterns formed in early life, that have never been clearly understood. When those patterns become visible, decision-making becomes more grounded and less reactive. If you are motivated to understand what is happening in your life, your relationships, and the patterns beneath repeated conflict, anxiety, and repeated cycles, and want a focused, intentional process, we may be a strong fit.

My approach is supportive and practical, focused on making real, steady progress in ways that feel sustainable. I work with individuals navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, workplace stress, social anxiety, low self-esteem, communication challenges, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, people pleasing, relationship dynamics, identity questions, grief, and life changes. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and more grounded in the life you want to create. Together, we’ll find tools that work for you so you can meet future challenges with more clarity and confidence. People are complex, and each person brings their own history, strengths, and struggles. I meet you where you are, stay steady through the hard parts, and keep the work collaborative and respectful.
