About me

Today my friends and loved ones know me as a playful and warm person who is a bit of a nerd and full of interesting stories, but I was not always perceived that way. I used to struggle tremendously with emotional dysregulation, low self esteem, and balancing the different aspects of my life in a way that would allow me to be the best version of myself.

What I needed more than anything else was for someone to listen with patience, understand without judgment, and help me see the patterns in my life and relationships from a new perspective. My clients are no different in that they struggle with the very same things. This makes building strong client relationships that much more effective for me.

I bring a playful and compassionate approach to therapy, where you’ll feel safe exploring your inner world, discovering what’s beneath your surface, and gaining clarity on what really matters. We’ll work together to untangle those thoughts, understand the emotions that fuel them, and make intentional shifts that lead to better, more fulfilling connections in every part of your life.
