About Me
I blend warmth and understanding with active engagement and thoughtful direction. Clients often describe me as both compassionate and direct. I value authenticity and create space for transformative connection. Therapy with me is not a cookie-cutter experience; I am not someone who merely listens and nods along. We'll explore your emotions with care, while also working to rescript the patterns that keep you stuck so you can make meaningful change. This is a space to be supported and stretched. I show up as a therapist much like I do in my personal life—with intellectual curiosity, emotional attunement, and deep intentionality. Every choice I make in treatment is grounded in care, insight, and evidence-based practice. I bring full presence and effort to our work, and I invite the same from my clients. Together, we walk each step toward change as a team.
