Relational. Intuitive. Deeply human.

The heart of how I work

  • Healing happens in relationship

    I’m a person-centered therapist with a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens, which means I care just as much about how the space feels as what we talk about.

    I work to offer a consistent, compassionate presence so you can feel safe, seen, and understood — especially if relationships haven’t always felt that way. A space that feels safe makes it easier to reconnect with who you really are.

  • More than symptoms

    I don’t lead with a diagnosis, and I’m not here to pathologize your pain. I want to understand how you’ve been shaped, what you’ve carried, and how those things show up now.

    I see symptoms as responses, not flaws. When we approach them with curiosity instead of judgment, they often start to soften and shift on their own.

    You’re not a problem to solve. You’re a person with a story that makes sense.

  • A space where all of you is welcome

    I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to offering a space where BIPOC clients feel seen and respected. I recognize that therapy doesn’t happen in a vacuum — I hold awareness of how systemic oppression, power dynamics, and cultural messages shape our lives, even when they’re not the focus of the session. My goal is for therapy to feel like a space where your full self is welcomed, honored, and held with care.

Frameworks I draw from

My approach is grounded in three core frameworks:

Psychodynamic theory

• Gently explores how your past shapes your present
• Attunes to relational patterns, shame, and unmet needs
• Holds space for what emerges between us, including moments that call for repair

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Honors the richness and complexity of your inner world
• Makes room to name your experience without shame
• Understands protective parts as wise and adaptive

Existential thought

• Invites meaning-making and exploration
• Welcomes big questions about identity, purpose, and truth
• Stays present with ambiguity, transition, and transformation

What this work is really about

Therapy is about more than symptom relief. It’s about coming home to yourself — especially the parts that have felt judged, buried, or misunderstood.

Many of my clients come in carrying questions they can’t quite name. They’re longing for something deeper: emotional safety, a self they can trust, clarity around what they feel and why, more freedom in relationships, and more ease in daily life.

That’s what guides this work — not fixing or rushing, but creating a space to practice relating to yourself with more tenderness, depth, and understanding than you may have received before.

Curious about working together?

We might be a good fit if…

  • You think and feel deeply — and sometimes wonder if that’s too much

  • You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you

  • You’re navigating grief, identity, or complicated family dynamics

  • You crave a space where you can be honest without being judged or rushed

  • You’re open to longer-term work that unfolds at your own pace

This isn’t an exhaustive list. You don’t have to see yourself in every line to belong here. If something here resonates — that’s enough.
