Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.

As a therapist who likes to keep it real, I want to share a bit about how I got here. For much of my life, I wrestled with perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, loneliness, and a slew of mental health symptoms that left me feeling disconnected- from others, but mostly from myself. Eventually, I realized what was missing… me. That realization started a journey of uncovering the parts of myself I had buried: the sensitive, sarcastic, bold, honest, loud, warm, and creative woman I now know and love.

Engagin the work to undo generational patterns, find truly safe connection, and embrace my full self has become my life’s mission—and it’s what drives me to find such passion in helping others do the same. My journey is never complete and I believe in the power of showing up authentically. I’m here to walk with you as you uncover and fully embrace who you are, too.

my approach

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a powerful, compassionate way of understanding the many “parts” inside of us. These parts may have helped you survive hard things: they keep the peace, stay productive, avoid conflict, push through. But they can also make it hard to rest, connect, or let yourself be truly seen.

In therapy, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome. I’ll bring warmth, honesty, and just the right amount of sarcasm to keep it real. I’m not here to fix you—because you’re not broken. I’m here to help you meet yourself (and your partner) with more clarity, compassion, and truth.

Therapy with me is a relationship—one built on trust, curiosity, and mutual respect. I show up fully, and I invite you to do the same.

If you’re ready to feel more connected—to yourself, to your partner, to the life you actually want—I’d love to work with you.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to get honest. I’ll meet you there.

Let’s start the conversation.
