Specialties:

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who are navigating questions of identity, self-trust, and life transition. Many of the individuals I work with are trying to make sense of how systemic influences, interpersonal relationships, past experiences, and internalized expectations have shaped their sense of self.

I help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves while building the confidence to recognize and honor their own experiences. My work emphasizes creating space for people to explore their identities without judgment, develop greater self-compassion, and find ways of living that feel more authentic and self-directed. I welcome individuals of all genders and backgrounds and value the many different experiences that shape who we are.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation:

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that meaningful therapeutic work begins with a genuine human connection. I strive to bring authenticity, consistency, and clear boundaries into the therapeutic relationship, creating an environment where clients feel safe to express themselves, explore difficult emotions, and share their experiences openly.

I draw from a variety of modalities including person centered therapy, psychoeducation, play therapy, CBT, and systems theory. With this combination individuals can embrace human connection, mental health education, creativity and self expression, thoughts and behaviors, and societal context as all parts of understanding oneself.

I recognize that each person’s experiences, identities, and goals are unique and I always welcome collaboration and feedback. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients cultivate greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and emotional harmony so they can move toward lives that feel more meaningful, joyful, and authentic.
