When the path forward isn't clear
You might be navigating a transition you didn't expect, sitting with something you've never told anyone, or wondering if how you're living is actually how you want to live. Maybe you're sensing that something needs to change—but you can't quite name it yet. These moments can feel disorienting, but they can also be a powerful invitation for growth and change.

Who I Work With
I provide whole-person, compassionate therapy for adults (18+), couples, and families. As you move through self-discovery, personal growth, and life transitions, it's common for experiences like anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction to be part of the picture. It's also not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by what life has brought your way at times. The work we do makes space for all of this and is grounded in collaboration and a strong sense of partnership.
My Approach
The way I work is shaped by listening and paying close attention to what's happening in your life as a whole—not just one symptom or moment in time. Together, we look at how your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life circumstances connect and affect each other over time.
I like to move forward mindfully, at a steady pace, rather than rushing the process. Change tends to be more lasting and sustainable when you feel seen and heard, and not pushed to go faster than you're ready for.
Throughout our work, I'm not interested in quick fixes or forcing a neat answer. The aim is to help you make sense of your experiences in a way that feels honest, grounded, and truly workable in your day-to-day life.
How I Came to This Work
My path into psychotherapy was not linear. My journey has been unconventional: from a career in corporate tech, through a period of deep personal and philosophical exploration, to going back to school and building a behavioral health practice.
This path has grounded me in the understanding that life rarely follows a straight line, everyone's journey is unique, and most people are navigating multiple dimensions at once.
Having experienced these significant transitions, I bring not only clinical experience but also a genuine appreciation for the diverse ways individuals navigate their own personal journeys.
The Work We Do Together
Growth happens most optimally when you feel a greater sense of stability—when you've found the ground beneath your feet. As your self-awareness and trust in yourself deepen, a lot can start to shift in how you relate to yourself, to others, and to the decisions in front of you.
In our work, I aim to help people move from "things just happened to me" toward "I can make meaning from what I've been through and grow from it." That shift—from feeling stuck to experiencing more agency and choice—is often where meaningful change begins.
You are the expert of your own life. I offer space, curiosity, and support in the process—but the insights, direction, and timing are always yours.
