Who Am I?
I’m someone who deeply values community and connection and truly understands the value of being seen and heard. My life has been filled with many different adventures, all of which have shaped me into who I am. I know how exhausting survival can be, and, even though it can be hard, it is possible to build a life that is more sustainable, meaningful, and true.
I have always had a passion for helping others and being a therapist allows me the opportunity to help others while honoring my values. It is a chance to sit with people in their experiences, understand their stories, and walk alongside them as they figure things out. And I still get to be a nerd over neuroscience, physiology, and all the amazing ways our minds and bodies function.
Outside the therapy room, in the real world, I like to do things that allow me to be creative, have fun, or connect with the outdoors. I am always ready for an adventure, whether it is taking a trip or going to the store.
Working With Me
Therapy with me is not about perfection or performance—it’s about finding what’s real and workable for you. You are the expert in your own life. My role is to offer insight, tools, and support—but always in a way that feel right for you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I encourage open, honest conversations about how it’s going. If something isn’t working—or if I’m not the right fit—we’ll talk about it. (Think of therapy like finding the right pair of shoes: just because one pair isn’t quite right doesn’t mean you won’t find the one that is.)
In session it is likely I am going to challenge you, in a supportive way, to exam the many different parts of yourself and your life. Many of the people I work with are trying to reconnect with themselves in the aftermath of overwhelming relationships or environments. I welcome all the versions of you that show up—including the ones you’ve been told are “too much” or “not enough.”
Together, we can explore how you’ve learned to survive, what’s no longer serving you, and how to begin rooting into something more aligned—on your terms.
