“It’s not ‘what’s wrong with you?’;
It’s ‘what happened to you?’” - me


In my work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples, I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore life stressors, navigate anxiety, repair relationship dynamics, heal attachment wounds, and connect with your inner child. I believe that everyone deserves support in finding clarity, resilience, and meaning in their lives.

In the therapeutic space, I show up as my authentic self. You won’t find a distant or overly formal therapist here—I believe in being genuine, approachable, and down-to-earth. My goal is to meet you where you are, fostering a collaborative relationship that supports your unique journey toward growth and healing.

My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), through an attachment theory lens. Whether you’re seeking to deepen connections, overcome personal challenges, or rediscover your sense of purpose, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
