Therapy, to me, is a collaborative and compassionate process that honors each person’s inherent worth, resilience, and capacity for growth. I believe that healing unfolds naturally when we allow ourselves to be who we truly are, rather than striving to become who we think we should be.
My role as a counselor is to create a space of safety, curiosity, and acceptance where clients can explore their authentic selves and reconnect with their inner wisdom.

I approach therapy from a secular, trauma-informed, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective, integrating mindfulness, somatic awareness, and expressive modalities such as art therapy. I believe that our nervous system holds a natural ability to heal, given the right conditions of safety, compassion, and attunement. My background as a yoga instructor and my experience in 12-step recovery deeply inform this work, emphasizing the integration of mind, body, and spirit.

I value working with people who have felt oppressed, misunderstood, or underrepresented due to gender, orientation, identity, or alternative lifestyles. I am comfortable talking about topics that can feel sensitive or overlooked — such as sexual health, intimacy, and the transitions of perimenopause and midlife. I believe these experiences deserve space, curiosity, and respect, as they are natural parts of our emotional and physical evolution. We all deserve to be seen for who we are — without judgment or the need to explain ourselves.
