My Therapeutic Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and honest. I work to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported — and where we also stay focused on meaningful growth and feeling better in your life moving forward.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as your full self. I’m direct, communicative, and real in the room. I often use humor, plain language, and yes — sometimes I curse — because authenticity matters. You don’t need to edit yourself here, and you don’t need to perform being “okay.”

At the same time, I won’t just nod along. When it’s helpful, I will gently (and sometimes directly) challenge patterns that keep you stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Growth often requires both compassion and accountability, and we work together to balance those intentionally.

I believe strong therapy is built on clear communication, mutual respect, and trust. You are the expert on your life; my role is to walk alongside you — offering perspective, challenge, and support — as you move toward a life that feels more stable, connected, and true to you.

How I Can Help You

I work with individuals and couples to navigate life’s transitions, manage stress and anxiety, and build stronger connections with themselves and others. Therapy can be a space to explore the challenges that feel heavy or confusing, gain insight into your patterns, and develop tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and culturally sensitive therapist, committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where all identities and experiences are respected and valued.

Together, we focus on understanding what’s keeping you stuck, identifying patterns that no longer serve you, and creating practical strategies for change. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy and postpartum experiences, relationship challenges, or personal growth goals, my approach combines compassion, accountability, and real-world guidance.

Through our work, you’ll have a supportive space to process emotions, build self-trust, strengthen communication skills, and take intentional steps toward a life that feels grounded, aligned, and authentic to who you are. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to face life’s transitions with confidence.
