I believe that healing often begins when we have a safe place to be fully ourselves, to tell our stories, make sense of what we have experienced, and feel genuinely seen and understood. Life can bring seasons of grief, change, anxiety, disappointment, and uncertainty, and sometimes we simply need someone to walk alongside us for a while. My hope is to offer a peaceful, welcoming space where you can take a breath, be honest about where you are, and begin to move toward where you want to be.

I enjoy working with teens, women, couples, and families as they navigate grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, identity, parenting, life transitions, and the many questions that come with being human. I have a particular heart for parents and caregivers of children who have experienced foster care or adoption, as well as teens and families working through attachment, belonging, and difficult family dynamics. I also love working with couples who want to find their way back to one another, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and build a deeper sense of connection.
My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and experiential. I draw from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems and narrative approaches, and arts integration. I believe that therapy is not about having all the answers or fixing what is “wrong” with you. Instead, it is about creating a relationship where you can explore what is happening beneath the surface, discover more of who you are, and experience something different. For those who desire it, I also welcome conversations about faith, spirituality, and the ways our relationship with God intersects with our emotional and relational lives.

Originally from the East Coast, I still feel a deep connection to the ocean and find something deeply restorative about being near the water. Outside of counseling, I love getting lost in a good book, hiking with my dog, spending time with my husband and children, and being part of my community. I am continually reminded that some of the most meaningful parts of life are found in simple things—good conversations, beautiful places, shared laughter, and the people who make us feel at home.
