Hi there! I am dedicated to creating space for healing. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I believe that the search for meaning and purpose is central to our human experience. I approach therapy with a deep respect for each individual's unique journey and the complexity of their inner world. My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and transformation, and that therapy can help us tap into that potential. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I prioritize the exploration of the big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? What gives my life meaning? Through this exploration, we can begin to gain insight into our deepest desires and fears, and develop a greater sense of authenticity and connection. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness, experiential therapy, and the interpersonal process, to help clients deepen their self-awareness and increase their capacity for emotional expression. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a key factor in successful therapy outcomes. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out and start your journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.

I work with women navigating grief, overwhelm, and life’s many transitions—whether that’s motherhood, fertility struggles, midlife shifts, or the quiet ache of loss. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic and existential therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches like ACT. These frameworks help us explore your inner landscape with curiosity, not judgment—and to create a process that feels both thoughtful and practical. I believe that healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s broken, but making space for what’s true. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling depleted, unsure, or stuck. Together, we’ll work to untangle the knots, reconnect with your values, and move toward a version of life that feels more honest and aligned. Supervised by Laurie Groh, MS, LPC, SAS.
