I work with both individuals and couples, helping people to heal from the effects of former or current destructive relationships, restore their sense of trust in themselves, and help them to experience more safety, connection and satisfaction in their lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with thirteen years of clinical experience. Passionate about providing individualized and intentional care, I believe that therapeutic work requires a strong connection, where clients feel heard and empowered. Taking a psychotherapeutic approach, I help clients to develop awareness of how we come to understand ourselves and the way we interact with the world. Through this journey, we develop compassion for the patterns we created to adapt to our environment, while exploring what may keep us from experiencing life with more connection and acceptance, and less shame and judgment.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe that sustainable growth happens when you feel seen, and when we are developing a safe and collaborative working relationship. Psychotherapy often focuses on improving coping skills, increasing interpersonal richness, and building a more solid self-experience. This work requires consideration of the underlying dynamics existing in emotions, ways of thinking, and relational patterns that are connected to—but sometimes larger than behavior itself. I strive to work from a place of curiosity, warmth, flexibility, and commitment.
