The background features a rocky shoreline, the ocean with small waves, and a cloudy sky with a hint of sunlight on the horizon. There are various items on the table, including a container, a cup, and some snacks, with a kayak visible on the rocky beach.

I’m glad you’re here.

It doesn’t always look like something is wrong.

From the outside, life keeps moving. You show up. You get through the day.

But somewhere underneath, something doesn’t settle.

A thought that lingers longer than it should.
A feeling that doesn’t quite have words.
The same patterns, quietly repeating.

You carry it on your own.
Not because you want to, but because it’s hard to explain.

Over time, a kind of distance forms.
From yourself. From other people. From the life you thought you’d be living.

And still, there’s a part of you that knows something wants to be felt.

Therapy can be a place to listen to that.

I offer a space to slow down, to feel heard and attended to, without needing to have it all figured out.

Together, we make sense of what’s been there all along.

And begin to find a way forward.

  • My approach is relational, emotionally attuned, and grounded in understanding the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others.

    I’m less focused on quick fixes and more interested in helping you slow things down, make sense of what’s underneath the surface, and create change that actually lasts.

  • I often work with people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite name.

    This can show up as anxiety, overthinking, relationship struggles, or a general sense that something isn’t working, even if everything looks fine from the outside.

  • It means paying attention not just to what you’re thinking, but what you’re feeling and experiencing in the moment.

    Together, we look at how your emotions, past experiences, and relationships connect, and how those patterns continue to show up in your life. From there, things start to make more sense, and change becomes possible.

  • I am currently completing my clinical training and not yet seeing private practice clients independently.

    I will begin offering psychotherapy services once I receive my Associate Marriage and Family Therapist registration.

    Join my mailing list to be informed when I am seeing clients.

  • I plan to begin offering psychotherapy services in August 2026, upon registration as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist.

  • My training includes work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and cognitive changes, as well as experience supporting neurodivergent young adults in building confidence, regulation, and direction. I am also currently training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which deepens my focus on relationships, emotional experience, and lasting change.
