About Me

I am inspired by the resilience of humans, the wisdom gained through challenges, and the healing power of connection. My approach is grounded in creating a space where you feel fully accepted as you are in the present moment, because that’s where meaningful change begins. Therapy is a brave act, requiring courage and vulnerability, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients on their journeys.

I bring a holistic perspective to therapy, blending interpersonal neurobiology with a practical, down-to-earth approach. Humor, irreverence, and compassion are integral to my work, helping clients navigate life’s difficulties with clarity and purpose.

My Approach

I believe that growth starts with self-acceptance. Together, we’ll reflect on where you are now, identify small successes, and build on them to create lasting progress. My role is to support you with warmth, encouragement, and respect, using approaches tailored to your needs to foster healing and resilience.
