Sessions with me include working through the tough times and celebrating the wins. We will work together in a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we will work together towards your goals. Our sessions will explore the multifaceted parts of your identity and how they influence how you interact with the world around you. We will approach topics that may seem scary or daunting at a pace that feels comfortable with you.

I approach therapy as a collaboration: a steady, attuned place to examine the experiences that have molded how we see ourselves and others, to loosen limiting patterns and beliefs, and to strengthen the parts of you that create and sustain lasting change. I work with adolescents, adults, and relationship dyads (familial, platonic, romantic). I'm especially passionate about supporting people who have had to take on roles of responsibility earlier than they may have liked, and those navigating shame, guilt, rumination, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, feeling "stuck," or moments of terrible uncertainty, whether due to life transitions, questions of identity, or something else.
