I am dedicated to providing affirming and trauma-responsive care, rooted in social justice-oriented, anti-oppressive values, and grounded in the belief that each of us has the innate capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful connection. I believe in the transformative power of the client-therapist alliance, emphasizing trust, empathy, and authenticity to build strong therapeutic relationships where clients may feel accepted, validated, and empowered. I offer a collaborative and compassionate approach, integrating a blend of relational, psychodynamic, cognitive, and somatic therapies in my practice. I specialize in supporting adults healing from childhood, relational, structural, and complex trauma. My clients commonly address experiences related to grief, self-esteem, emotional regulation, boundary work, stress, and depression. I also offer emotionally-focused therapy for couples, focusing on attachment needs, communication, and deepening connection. Leading with warmth and curiosity, I support clients in exploring their experiences fully, increasing self-awareness, developing coping skills, and understanding the patterns that shape their relationships with themselves and others. I welcome feedback, practice self-reflection, and embrace humor wherever it is found. Connect to see if we are a good fit!
