If you’ve landed on this page, you are probably curious about who I am and whether I might be the right therapist fit for you. For my entire life, I have been innately drawn to deep conversations, emotions, and connection. I was often referred to as an “old soul” or told that people felt uniquely comfortable opening up to me. I learned how to listen between the lines and sense what wasn’t being said.

I was also navigating my own complex family system. Growing up within a narcissistic, abusive, and addiction-filled environment shaped me deeply. Like many of the people I now work with, I learned how to “read the room,” carry responsibility, and adapt quickly in order to survive. That experience, and the long process of unlearning it, became foundational to the way I understand trauma, shame, and identity today.

I have spent many years in the client’s chair, doing my own deep therapeutic work, and I continue to believe that the best clinicians are those who remain committed to being students of their own inner world. I value mentorship deeply — and I believe in having a mentor who has a mentor who has a mentor.

This lived experience does not replace my clinical training, but instead harmonizes with it. It allows me to sit with complexity, hold nuance, and meet clients with both empathy and discernment. I understand what it feels like to untangle old narratives, question your worth, and to rebuild trust. I understand these things not just theoretically, but viscerally.

Today, my work is grounded in both professional expertise and hard-earned insight. I approach therapy with humility, curiosity, and deep respect for the courage it takes to show up. I don’t believe in pathologizing survival but honoring it and helping people move beyond it when they are ready.

I work best with women who became responsible early, learned to be strong or “good,” and now find themselves exhausted, self-critical, or unsure of who they are beneath it all. Many don’t come in identifying the word trauma.. they just know something feels off.
