Welcome to

My Approach
My goal is to create a space of safety, where you can develop a sense of personal meaning through trust and compassion. Humans are naturally born with a desire to connect, and connection allows us to heal in the most genuine ways. During sessions, I will move at a pace that is comfortable for you as you explore distressing emotions and experiences. Then we will collaborate to develop insight and create tools that create lasting change to increase fulfillment in life. I use an attachment-based and trauma-informed therapy approach to support you in reaching your therapy goals.
Why Therapy?
My passion for therapy grew from my own healing process in a therapeutic setting. In my experience as a therapist as well as throughout life, I have grown to see the importance of moving through life’s difficult experiences in connection with others.
