REAL CONVERSATIONS, REAL CONNECTION
Therapy That Goes Beyond The Blank Slate

I bring my authentic self into our sessions and believe therapy can be both professional and human. I’m warm, conversational, and genuinely curious about your experience. When appropriate and clinically helpful, I may share a personal perspective or insight to help you feel understood and less alone. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe being honest about what’s really going on.

Our sessions are a judgment-free space where you can talk openly about the emotions, experiences, and parts of your story that may be difficult to share elsewhere. I’ll meet you with compassion and curiosity while helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing. You don’t have to minimize your feelings or have the “right” response to what you’re going through.

Therapy is something we do together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, share clinical insights, and introduce approaches or practices when they feel relevant to your needs. We’ll work together to understand your patterns, identify what matters to you, and build on the strengths you already have.

Our sessions will have purpose, but they don’t have to be rigid. I’ll adapt to what you bring into the room and meet you where you are emotionally and mentally. Your needs may change from week to week, and there is no pressure to follow a predetermined timeline. We’ll move at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

My professional experience as a therapist and former medical social worker, along with my personal experience as a sibling of someone with a life-altering injury, shapes the way I understand the complexities of health, disability, caregiving, and family dynamics. I bring that perspective into my work while recognizing that your experience is uniquely yours.

I don’t believe I’m here to tell you what you should do or how you should feel. My role is to help you better understand yourself, identify what you need, and make choices that feel aligned with your values and life. Together, we’ll create space for you to reconnect with yourself and determine what moving forward looks like for you.

I draw from a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), somatic therapy, IFS/parts work, trauma-focused CBT, nervous system regulation, and other approaches based on your individual needs. Rather than using the same approach with every client, I tailor our work to your goals, experiences, and what feels most supportive in the moment.
