My Approach
I don't believe therapy should feel like you're being squeezed into a one-size-fits-all model. Every person who has a session with me has a different story, different strengths, different identities, and different goals. Why would I work with everyone in the same way?
That's why I use an Integrative approach to therapy, pulling from a variety of evidence-based practices depending on what actually works for you. I tend to lean most on Humanistic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping you untangle the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck while making sure your goals, values, and lived experiences stay at the center of our work. If those approaches don't fit, we'll leave them behind and pivot toward something that does.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, identity exploration, trauma, or simply trying to understand yourself a little better, we'll work together to figure out what's getting in the way and build practical tools that support the life you want to create for yourself. Therapy isn't about becoming someone else; it's about understanding yourself more deeply and creating space to live in a way that feels authentic to you.
I'm also a big believer that we can't think our way out of everything. Sometimes we get so caught up in our heads that we lose touch with the rest of ourselves. Our bodies carry stress, communicate our needs, and often notice things long before our minds do. That's why I often incorporate somatic, body-based approaches to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and feel more grounded. That doesn't mean every session involves these "bottom-up" approaches, it simply means we'll pay attention to what your mind and body are telling us, because both have something important to say.
Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process. I bring my clinical training, experience, and perspective, but you're the expert on your own life. I will always stay curious, experiment with what works, and do what I can to build a space that feels genuine, practical, and uniquely yours. Together, we will create something that serves you well.

Marginalization
If you're queer, BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled, live in a larger body, or hold another marginalized identity, you've probably received countless messages about who you're supposed to be. Maybe you've been told you're "too much," "not enough," "too sensitive," "too loud," "too emotional," or that some part of you needed to be hidden, fixed, or explained away.
Those messages have a way of sticking with us, even when we know they aren't true. They can shape our relationships, our confidence, our sense of safety, and the way we see ourselves. Therapy can be a place to unpack those experiences, challenge the shame they often leave behind, and replace self-criticism with self-compassion. Together, we'll nurture the resilience that's already carried you this far, so you can move through the world with greater confidence, self-trust, and the freedom to take up the space you deserve.
