I love working with people.
I value connection and relationship. I think it’s my most favorite thing! And research shows that positive experiences of human connection are essential components of our emotional health. One of my primary goals is to facilitate this type of relational experience in therapy to help you process and heal what hurts, while empowering you to effectively move forward in life.
I went through my own healing journey.
In my late youth I began my journey of personal healing that continues to unfold today. I had the good fortune to encounter some amazing therapists who helped me to discover my compassion, curiosity, and empathic qualities. My life changed when I leaned in curiously to my authenticity, developed a caring relationship to my pain, and shifted my mindset from not good enough to worthy. It’s become my daily practice to be curious rather than furious and to choose courage over comfort.
I’m intentional.
As a mom of two and an empathic introvert, I know what it’s like to give so much of yourself that burn out is inevitable. I’ve spent much of my life as a nurturer, but I’ve learned the importance of balancing care for others with care for myself. As a recovering people pleaser and rule follower I’ve learned that prioritizing your well-being isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Whether it’s through hiking, playful moments with my kids, or connecting with friends, I’ve discovered that taking care of myself allows me to show up fully for others.
I’m intentional about creating space for what truly matters: your energy, your joy, and your growth.
