Being a human is hard. We often get stuck in patterns or cycles without fully realizing how we got there, and what we need to get unstuck. I wholeheartedly strive to offer a space where you can be curious about these patterns, explore your feelings, and find clarity in a way that fosters empowerment.

As a hyper-independent eldest daughter, I know all too well the feeling of thinking you can handle it all on your own. I'm here to honor these parts of you and provide gentle reminders that humans are made and programmed for attunement and connection, and we don't have to do it all alone. 

Approach

• I believe healing is a universal human right, and we all deserve a space to process, grow, and accept our truest selves. 

• I blend humor and philosophical wisdom into my approaches and believe you are the expert in your own life. 

• I believe the therapeutic alliance and relationship can be the biggest facet of change; I want clients to feel warmth and nonjudgement from me always. 

• Emotion-focused therapy, somatic techniques, and polyvagal theory to help identify underlying emotions/patterns and attachment theories to help understand how those patterns play out in our relationships. 

Culturally Grounded Care 

I understand that cultural humility is an essential foundation for navigating the intimate complexities of therapy. There is a power imbalance that exists between any client and clinician, and I name that because I believe it is important to honor how past experiences and cultural/societal expectations can shape who we are today and how we show up in any room.
