“Smooth seas have never made an experienced sailor.”
Welcome!
When we break a bone or become sick, we seek medical treatment. That the same care and attention should be given to our mental health. I believe that therapy is not just about addressing mental health issues—it's about nurturing the whole self, mind, body, and spirit. Therapy also looks different for everyone because our lives are shaped by our experiences, emotions, and somatic responses to everyday life. As your therapist, I will guide you with authenticity and warmth, helping you navigate your unique therapeutic journey.
Let's work together to build the life you envision! Whether you're dealing with life's transitions, relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

About Me
While my lived experience as an adopted individual informs my work with those who wish to process their own adoption stories, my practice extends far beyond this. I am passionate about working with a diverse range of clients, including adults, children and teens, families and couples. Identity and a sense of belonging are integral to our mental and emotional well-being, and I am dedicated to helping all clients explore these crucial aspects of their lives.
