I’ve seen how powerful it can be to feel truly heard and supported. When someone creates space for you to be yourself without judgment, it can change everything. We all need a place where our story matters and our emotions are met with care, not criticism.

What led me to become a therapist was a deep belief in the importance of connection. It makes a real difference to have someone walking beside you during the hard or confusing parts of life. That kind of support can help us feel less alone and more able to face what’s ahead.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. That’s okay. Therapy doesn’t require you to have all the answers, it just asks that you show up. I’ll meet you right there.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible. Together, we’ll create space to slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and make sense of the patterns, emotions, or struggles you may be carrying. You set the pace. I bring curiosity, care, and tools that fit your unique needs.

To support our work, I draw from several evidence-based approaches:

• Psychodynamic Therapy – Helps us explore how early experiences and relationships may be shaping your current patterns and emotional responses.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Guides us in getting to know the different “parts” of you, some that protect, some that carry pain, so you can experience more inner harmony and self-compassion.

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Helps strengthen your sense of emotional safety in relationships, allowing for deeper connection with others and with yourself.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Offers practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions, improving communication, and navigating difficult moments with more confidence.

Through this process, you can begin to understand yourself more fully, connect the dots, and move toward the life you want with greater clarity and self-trust.

In my life outside of therapy, I’m often drawn to the same things I encourage in the therapy space: quiet moments, fresh perspective, and meaningful connection. Whether I’m walking a local trail or reading a book, I look for things that help me pause, reflect, and better understand myself and others. These slower moments help me show up in session feeling present, curious, and open to whatever you bring.

I especially enjoy podcasts that explore how we grow, what makes life feel meaningful, and how we can connect more deeply with ourselves and the people around us. A few of my go-tos are:

• The Good Life Project: features conversations with inspiring guests who share practical insights and personal stories for leading a meaningful, fulfilling life.

• Pulling the Thread with Elise Loehnen: Features thought-provoking conversations on values and personal growth.

Listening to these reminds me that we’re all figuring things out as we go. Therapy can be one of the few spaces where taking your time, asking big questions, and being real about what’s hard is okay. My hope is to offer you a space that feels grounded, supportive, and in tune with your pace, so you can start to understand where you’ve been and feel more confident about where you’re going.
