About me
My work is rooted in a humanistic, process-oriented approach. I draw from a rich tapestry of modalities—including Gestalt Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy—tailored to meet your unique needs. I also hold a holistic perspective, understanding that the mind and body is one intricate system and shaped by our environment.
In the therapy space, I strive to be a fellow traveler—someone who walks beside you, not ahead of you. I don’t claim to be the expert on your life; rather, my role is to help you reconnect with your own deepest wisdom. My style is gentle yet direct, transparent yet warm, and often sprinkled with a touch of humor—because sometimes, laughter is a powerful part of the healing process too.
I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals and issues and love walking alongside anyone who is ready to do the work. I also have a special place in my heart for:
- Fellow moms, especially those who became first-time mothers after 35 and are navigating the beautiful and bewildering transition into motherhood.
- Individuals healing from relationship loss, seeking to reclaim their sense of self and create space for a new beginning.
- People working through trauma, ready to reconnect with lost or forgotten parts of themselves and move toward greater wholeness.
- Young adults who are standing at the edge of adulthood, facing the challenge of finding their path in a complex and ever-changing world.
- Fellow helpers who are ready to receive the support that they pour into others.
No matter where you are in your journey, therapy can be a powerful space for reflection, clarity, healing, and growth. I would be honored to be part of that process with you.
