About

Founder & Therapist

Walking alongside as you discover, challenge, uproot, or embrace your path is an honor and privilege. My calling lies in helping people shape their most important endeavor, which is creating a beautiful and meaningful life. I provide an empathic, kind, and patient space large enough to hold all of the big feelings, experiences, and difficult situations inherent in the human experience.

I am committed to the well-being of my clients and find great fulfillment in assisting them to create and fully live their best lives. I work with diverse populations, from business professionals to young adults navigating life. I also provide therapeutic services to fellow therapists so they can mindfully continue their important work of supporting others.

Integrating a variety of approaches is essential to my philosophy of care. Drawing on various theories and approaches allows for creativity, flow, and flexibility in our therapeutic work. I am dedicated to continuous learning and I am always educating myself on new ways to serve clients. Some approaches you can expect working with me include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic work, attachment, and narrative therapy.

I look forward to connecting with you as we embark on your healing journey-together
