I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to fit yourself into a box to be understood. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, creating space for you to explore who you are, the experiences that have shaped you, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential therapy, and narrative approaches to help clients build greater understanding, flexibility, and connection in their lives.

I especially enjoy working with young adults, LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and people experiencing OCD or anxiety. I strive to provide an affirming space where different identities, perspectives, and ways of experiencing the world are respected. My interest in OCD is informed by both clinical study and my own experience with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which has given me a personal understanding of how overwhelming intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns can feel.

I also enjoy working with couples, particularly around communication, connection, and attachment. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, I help couples recognize the patterns they get caught in and develop healthier ways of understanding and responding to one another.

Before entering the counseling field, I worked as a writer, photographer, filmmaker, and content creator. That creative background continues to shape the way I listen to people’s stories and think about identity, perspective, and meaning. My own path has not always followed the expected route, and I value working with people who may also feel like they don’t quite fit the mold.

Whether you’re figuring out who you are, navigating a relationship, dealing with thoughts or patterns that feel difficult to escape, or simply trying to understand yourself better, therapy can be a place where you don’t have to have everything figured out. You can show up as you are, and we can start from there.
