I am a licensed therapist with a client-centered, humanistic approach to therapy. Our work together is guided by you—your needs, your pace, and what feels most important in the moment. While I may come into sessions with ideas or plans, I prioritize what arises for you in real time. If something feels pressing or intuitive, I want to listen. I follow your lead, not a rigid agenda.
My work is grounded in the belief that each person holds an inherent capacity for growth and healing. While support and connection with others are essential, meaningful change ultimately comes from within. Therapy is a space where we explore that responsibility gently and with compassion, honoring both your strengths and your humanity.
I practice from a psychodynamic and attachment-based lens, which means we may explore early life experiences, relationships, and patterns that continue to influence your present-day functioning. This exploration is always collaborative and permission-based—nothing is ever forced. What needs to emerge will do so when you feel safe and ready. My style is thoughtful, trauma-informed, and gentle, while also being firm and appropriately challenging when needed. Humor is a natural part of who I am and often finds its way into sessions when it feels supportive.
