About My Clients

You’ve checked all the boxes and done what you were “supposed” to do, yet something still feels off. Maybe you’ve been in survival mode, people-pleasing, or caretaking for so long that you’ve lost touch with yourself—or a big life change has shifted everything. Together, we’ll slow down, get curious, and help you reconnect with your values, your voice, and your sense of self.

My Background and Approach

I bring experience across multiple levels of care, including Intensive Outpatient (IOP) settings where I provided both individual and family therapy. This work shaped my ability to support clients through higher-acuity challenges while maintaining a steady, compassionate presence. Currently, I work in a group practice with couples, individuals, and families, helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I value helping clients build a deeper understanding of how their bodies respond to stress, connection, and safety. I believe that meaningful change often comes not just from insight, but from learning how to recognize and work with internal cues. I aim to reframe and deepen the concept of mindfulness. It is often misunderstood as simply breathing exercises or relaxation techniques, but in practice, it is about developing awareness of how your mind and body operate—moment to moment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy with me is a space where all feelings are welcome—anger, jealousy, sadness—they aren’t “bad,” they’re messages your mind and body are sending you. Are you ready to listen? I encourage honest, open conversations about anything on your mind. I do my best to honor each person as a unique individual. I continue to educate myself on culture, identity, and lived experience, and we’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy feels like a good fit. If it’s not, I’ll gladly help connect you with someone who is. Therapy with me is meant to be a space to explore, reflect, and figure out what truly matters to you—without judgment and with a little humanity (and maybe a laugh) along the way.
