Sometimes, it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders and the only thing we can do about it is to hide our true selves behind a mask, always acting the part of who others believe we “should” be. In this work, I believe it is incredibly important to relieve some of this pressure, lean in and embrace what we so often prefer to conceal, and learn to practice self-compassion even when we don’t love every single thing about ourselves. My therapeutic style is person-centered and empathic, and in every session, you are the guide. In therapy, we may discuss parts of your life and self that you have not explored before, and I strive to make this a safe and honest space where every feeling is welcome, and no thought is too scary for us to name out loud. I am a neurodivergence-affirming practitioner, with a focus on complex trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, chronic stress, and anxiety. I work primarily with older adolescents and adults, and am excited to navigate this journey with you.
