Nice to meet you

I support clients working through trauma, difficult emotions, and patterns that no longer serve them. As an eclectic therapist, I meet you where you are—not as the “expert” in your life, but as a real, authentic human. My style is low to moderate in structure, with loose plans based on your goals while leaving room for what comes up in the moment. I’m also expressive, bringing myself into the room rather than taking a blank-slate approach, and I work at a safe, collaborative pace.
