psychotherapy that feels like a breath of fresh air

Everyone deserves a life that feels aligned and manageable.

My goal is to help you untangle the challenges that keep you stuck so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence, experiencing healing and greater self-understanding.

While I am an expert in my field…

I truly believe you are the expert on your life.

I see therapy as a collaborative process - one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

I have a deep respect for your unique experiences, and will not treat you as just a set of symptoms.

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can show up fully as yourself and explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a transformative way.

If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to hear from you and discuss your options. I hope to be able to work with you!

beyond the therapy room

A central part of my work is helping people understand how stress shows up in the body and how to regulate their nervous systems. That passion led me to pursue training in yoga and auricular acupuncture outside of my psychotherapy practice.

Through a separate business, I offer a gentle online yoga class focused on grounding and slow, accessible movement. It’s open to anyone and not connected to my psychotherapy services. You’re welcome to join!

when I’m not working…

I enjoy getting lost in a book, caring for my many plants, exploring creative writing, making art, and hosting friends for good food and conversation. I love spending time in nature, whether walking, kayaking, or riding my bike. I am a life-long learner and impossibly curious, with many interests ranging from neuroscience to astrology. But my heart is most full when I am spending time with my partner, his two sons, and our beloved fur babies, Chloe and Stormi.
