Psychotherapy is a natural extension of the work I have spent much of my career doing: teaching, coaching, listening, challenging, and helping people navigate change. My path began in case management shortly after completing my undergraduate degree and expanded through coaching, education, mental health counseling, and the study of how people function within relationships, workplaces, and other systems.
Today, my work integrates psychotherapy with my background in industrial and organizational psychology, grief and loss, integrative mental health, movement, and coaching. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity, and the patterns that can keep us feeling stuck. My own experiences with loss led me to pursue specialized training in grief, while my background as a former college athlete and yoga instructor continues to shape my interest in the connection between the mind, body, movement, and emotional well-being.
I believe therapy is about life because eventually, life finds its way into the room.
My approach is engaged, creative, compassionate, and direct. I believe in giving people room to explore while also being willing to name what may be difficult to see or say. Sometimes growth requires reflection. Sometimes it requires movement. And sometimes it requires having an honest conversation about the elephant that has been sitting in the room the entire time.
You can expect me to ask questions, notice patterns, offer perspective, and challenge you when it may help you move beyond what is familiar. Therapy with me is not about telling you who to become. It is about helping you understand yourself more clearly, build trust in your own capacity, and make intentional choices about what comes next.
I value the relationship we build in therapy and protect it through communication, feedback, collaboration, and respect. When appropriate, I also value interdisciplinary consultation and collaboration as part of supporting the whole person - not simply the symptoms that brought you to therapy.
Ultimately, I want therapy to be a place where you can bring your whole self, tell the truth about what is happening, and have enough room to discover what you want to do with it.
