The Right Therapist For You
Therapy works best when you feel safe, seen, and understood. Just like we naturally connect with certain friends or teachers, finding the right therapist, someone you feel comfortable opening up to, makes all the difference. Learn more about me to see if we might be a good fit.
Relational and Existential
I consider my therapy style to be both relational and existential. Learn more about what this means to me and if it resonates with you.
Messy & Human
I show up fully human, and I invite you to do the same. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, where you can take off your mask and be real in the room.
Lived Experiences
My lived experience shapes the insight I bring into the room and informs how I understand people, relationships, and the complexity of life.

One life.
How you choose to live it matters.
Relational & Existential
Through Connection
The patterns that shape us don’t exist in isolation. They are formed in our relationships. The way we connect, protect ourselves, pull back, or reach for others often makes sense when you understand where they come from. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I pay attention to these patterns and how they continue to show up in your life.
This also means I pay attention to what happens in the room between us. Therapy is not just a place to talk about your life. It is a place where parts of your life naturally unfold in real time. How you respond to me, what feels easy or difficult to say, and where you feel safe or unsure all matter. These moments are not problems. They are opportunities to better understand yourself in a way that goes beyond insight alone.
At the core of relational work is the belief that change happens through connection. Being met with honesty, consistency, and genuine presence can create space for something different to happen. Over time, this can shift how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and what you believe is possible in your relationships.
Toward a Life That Feels Like Yours
You have this one life. How you choose to live it matters. Therapy isn’t only about tending to wounds or easing distress. It’s also about reclaiming space for reflection and possibility. It’s an invitation to slow down, to reconnect with what matters, and to begin shaping a life that holds meaning. One that feels more honest, more intentional, and more like your own.
At the heart of this work is a deep respect for what it means to be alive and human. I don’t see anxiety, despair, or uncertainty as problems to be fixed. They are invitations to explore, part of the natural process of making sense of our lives. We won’t bypass what hurts. We also won’t stay stuck there.
Together, we explore what your struggles might be asking of you, and what they might be guiding you toward. We reflect on your values, your freedom to choose, and the responsibility that comes with shaping a life that feels like your own. Along the way, we notice your strengths, your resilience and your capacity for joy. Our work won’t focus only on what’s painful. It will also open space for what’s possible: a life that feels authentic, intentional, and deeply aligned with who you are.
