I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating relational challenges, identity exploration, and the disruptions that often come with major life transitions. Whether you're facing anxiety, disconnection, grief, or uncertainty, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

In a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space, I invite you to reflect on the stories you’ve been carrying—especially the ones that no longer serve you. Through an integrative Narrative Therapy approach, we’ll gently explore how past experiences may have shaped your current reality, and work toward rewriting those narratives with more compassion, clarity, and intention.

I believe that even in our most painful moments, there is possibility. You are the expert on your life—and together, we’ll uncover your strengths, your values, and a path forward that feels more true to who you are. Pushing past the fear of starting therapy isn’t easy, but the growth that comes from it is real and deeply worth it.
