Change—whether anticipated or sudden—can feel destabilizing. It can bring grief, uncertainty, or a loss of connection to oneself. Many people find themselves stuck, unsure of how to move forward after a pivotal event. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, or struggling with identity shifts, I strive to help clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are integrating significant life events—experiences that have disrupted their sense of self or stability. My approach combines evidence-based techniques, including mindfulness and somatic experiencing, with depth-oriented tools like dream work and Sand Tray therapy. Therapy is a space to explore the emotions beneath the surface and to reconnect with your inner wisdom and resilience.

I reference Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) principles to help clients regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and regain clarity during times of change. As a queer therapist, I am committed to providing an affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly those navigating identity-related transitions or seeking healing in relationships.

My approach is empathetic, compassionate, and strengths-based, rooted in the belief that healing and growth take shape when we can explore our inner world with curiosity and kindness. I support clients in bringing new insights into conscious awareness, understanding their emotional and cognitive patterns, and finding the motivation and tools needed to create meaningful change. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Art Therapy. With over 10 years of experience, I support both teens and adults as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I strive to

create a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. My work focuses on helping individuals deepen their understanding of themselves and the systems they move through, building resilience and confidence along the way. Together, we examine the underlying thoughts, beliefs, and narratives shaping daily life; identify internal strengths and coping strategies; and develop new resources to foster healing, growth, and self-efficacy. My goal is to collaborate with clients as they reconnect with their capacity for insight, compassion, creativity, and meaningful transformation.
