Therapy With Me

Therapy with me is a warm, welcoming, and deeply nonjudgmental space—a place where you can finally exhale and feel supported exactly as you are. Our work together is a collaborative journey, and you will never walk it alone. I honor the responsibility of guiding you through your healing process, and I’m committed to creating a safe environment where real change can unfold at your own pace.

Growth can be uncomfortable, and therapy isn’t always easy—but it is transformative. You’ll never be pressured to share more than you’re ready for. Instead, I’ll gently support you as you explore the emotions, memories, patterns, and experiences that are asking for healing.

In our sessions, you’re invited to speak freely and authentically—without a filter, without judgment, and without the pressure to “have it all together.” I’ll help you make sense of what’s coming up, gain clarity, uncover deeper insight, and begin shifting the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

My intention is that you leave each session feeling more grounded and empowered—whether with a new perspective, a moment of clarity, or a practical tool you can use in your daily life. Therapy with me isn’t rigid or one-size-fits-all; every session is shaped around what you truly need that day, whether it’s processing a hard moment, exploring your past, or stepping into possibilities for your future.

No matter where you are starting from, I will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and unwavering support.
If you’re ready for healing that feels genuine, attuned, and deeply transformative—let’s begin.

My Guiding Principles


  • Welcoming of all identities and lifestyles. Exploring how culture, power, and privilege influence your concerns. Inviting you to actively collaborate in your plan for therapy.

  • Being actively involved in trainings and supervision so that I never fall out of touch of ways to help you. Engaging in my own work so I don’t burn out and can continue to show up for you.

  • Transparency in our working relationship so you never have to guess what I’m thinking or why I’m doing something. A genuine space where you can say anything and everything (yes, even swearing). Giving direct feedback.

  • Making sure you feel comfortable in our relationship. Offering my own life examples as applicable so you know you’re not alone and I genuinely don’t judge you. Inviting feedback throughout our relationship.

This is my Jam…..

I specialize in helping individuals and couples who feel stuck—emotionally, personally, or in their relationships—find clarity, healing, and meaningful growth. If you’re carrying the weight of past or present pain, struggling with intimacy, or feeling caught in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and create a compassionate, sustainable path toward deeper connection, emotional freedom, and the healthy, fulfilling relationships you deserve.

I’m here to support you with warmth, expertise, and unwavering care every step of the way.
If you’re ready for real change, I’m ready to help.

How Is Therapy With Me Different?

Most traditional approaches to healing trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship issues rely on a one-size-fits-all model. Clients often walk away feeling like they understand their struggles, but still don’t know how to change them. You may have learned coping skills, yet the deeper pain, patterns, and triggers still show up—making real progress feel just out of reach.

My approach is different because you are different.

I take a deeply intentional, collaborative, and holistic approach that honors your individuality, your lived experiences, and the systems that have shaped who you are. Instead of focusing on just one part of your story, I help you see the bigger picture—your emotions, relationships, patterns, trauma responses, and the context you’ve grown within.

Together, we’ll explore what’s been happening internally and relationally:

  • Why emotions feel hard to manage

  • Why communication or boundaries feel overwhelming

  • Why certain relational patterns keep repeating

  • Why it’s difficult to feel seen, valued, or understood

From there, we’ll tailor our work to your specific needs—using trauma-informed, somatic, relational, and attachment-based approaches to support lasting change.

Through our work, you’ll build the tools to regulate your emotions, heal from past trauma, strengthen your relationships, and feel more empowered, connected, and grounded in your everyday life.

This is therapy that meets you where you are—and walks with you toward where you want to be.

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach that supports emotional healing by addressing how trauma and stress live in the nervous system. Through grounding, breathwork, and mindful awareness, you’ll learn to regulate your body and soften patterns of overwhelm. This work helps you feel more connected, empowered, and at ease.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method focuses on increased and effective communication skills with your partner, rebuilding the bond that brought you together and increasing intimacy.

                               CBT + DBT

CBT is focused on changing unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving into healthy patterns.


DBT is focused on accepting the reality of things in your life. It can help with learning to be present, learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings, learning to create and maintain healthy relationships, and learning to have more control over your emotions.
