About My Clients

Everyone encounters seasons of their lives that feel overwhelming. Those times often become easier when we take the courageous step of sharing them with someone who can help us carry the weight. I work with individuals and couples across all ages and stages of life who experience relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stage changes. Whether you are struggling in a relationship, navigating a crisis, moving through a major life transition, or simply want to learn new skills

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy draws out meaningful insight in a way that feels supportive and purposeful. I draw from attachment theory, internal family systems, and trauma-informed perspectives to help you explore emotional pain and gain a deeper understanding of your experiences. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Restoration Therapy to help you discover the tools and skills that align with your strengths and support your growth. As you witness yourself taking more agency over your life, my hope is that you see you are more resilient and capable than you thought. I would be honored to join you in this journey and walk with you toward greater freedom in your life.
