I’ve always been someone who notices patterns, in people, in relationships, and in the way certain dynamics seem to repeat even when we’re trying to do things differently. I’m drawn to conversations that go a little deeper, the kind where things start to click and you think, “oh… that actually makes sense.”

I also don’t believe therapy has to feel overly clinical or heavy all the time. Some of the most meaningful work happens in a space where you can feel understood, be yourself, and still be challenged in a way that helps you grow.

I tend to work with people who are already pretty self-aware. They’ve thought about their experiences, they’ve tried to “figure it out,” but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns, especially in relationships, boundaries, or how they view themselves.

There’s often a sense of: “Why do I keep reacting this way?” or “I know better, so why is this still so hard?” If that resonates, you’re probably in the right place.

My background is in child and family therapy, which means I was trained to look closely at how early environments shape emotional patterns, relationships, and self-worth. Over time, I found myself drawn to working with teens and young adults who were beginning to see how those early experiences were still showing up in their present lives.

I’m trained in trauma-informed approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy. These approaches help us understand not just what is happening, but why, and give us ways to actually shift those patterns, not just talk about them.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down and look at what’s underneath the surface. As those patterns become clearer, many clients begin to feel more grounded in their emotions, more confident in their relationships, and more in control of how they respond to life.

My goal is to create a space that feels thoughtful, honest, and real, where you can better understand yourself, make sense of your experiences, and start showing up in your life in a way that feels more aligned with who you are now.

I’m someone who appreciates a good routine but also knows life doesn’t always go according to plan.

You’ll usually find me rotating through the same comfort shows (Friends, Gossip Girl, New Girl, Grey’s…), starting over as soon as one ends. Sunday nights are for clean sheets and a reset, and I’m always slowly working on improving my French.

I love small rituals that make everyday life feel a little better, a good book before bed, fresh tulips, a puzzle, and a candle that feels slightly too fancy for a regular night.
