I believe you are enough—just as you are. I see you as the expert of your own experience, and I’m here as a compassionate witness, guide, and collaborator in your healing process.
Our work is shaped by your unique story and the systems and relationships that have influenced it. I use an experiential, relational approach rooted in Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, and Gestalt. I hope to offer a warm, inclusive space where you feel free to be your most honest and authentic self—without judgment.
My intention is always to be present and real with you through the dark, the light, and the shadows in between.
