About My Clients

I work with a diverse range of couples and individuals, including neurodivergent people, highly sensitive people, folks experiencing anxiety and depression, those exploring non-traditional relationships, multicultural people, LGBTQIA+ and queer folx, those experiencing significant life changes, and more.

My Background and Approach

Using a humanistic, depth-oriented approach, I help you feel heard, seen, and understood— providing new perspectives on your life and addressing recurring themes and patterns in areas such as relationships, sense of purpose, life-changes, emotional turbulence, and existential questions. I utilize a variety of exercises—drawing from CBT, somatics, attachment theory, parts work, the Gottman method, drama therapy, family systems, existential explorations, and more—depending on how you processes the world. The etymology of psyche comes from the Greek word psukhē, which means “soul” and psychology means "care of the soul." In my work, I tend to the soul by offering a compassionate, supportive environment for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth to occur. I have a deep appreciation for the richness of the human experience, and I hold space for folks to navigate the complexities of being alive and ride the rollercoaster of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The core belief of my therapeutic practice is this: You hold the answers you are looking for. My job is to help you tune into your internal sense of knowing so you can engage in life with a deeper sense of trust in yourself. Whether it's relationship dynamics or life direction or trauma work or something else, I help you make adjustments and find the strategies that are effective and authentic to you. I am not here to make the problems in the world disappear. I am here to help you grow your capacity to withstand life's difficulties so you can navigate this life with more grace and ease -- with yourself and with the people you are in relationship with. I am here to help you cultivate your resilience and strength.
