Services
I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation call.
I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. If paying my full fee makes therapy inaccessible, please inquire about a reduced fee.
I am considered an out of network provider and do not accept insurance directly. I can provide a monthly super bill that some insurance providers will accept for full or partial reimbursement. I recommend inquiring directly with your insurance provider regarding reimbursement.

Approach
My work is grounded in a humanistic, relational, and trauma-informed framework that prioritizes deep empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I invite my warm, grounded, and quirky personality into my work.
I believe that meaningful change happens within the context of safe, attuned relationships. My approach is informed by an understanding of how early experiences, attachment patterns, and interpersonal and systemic dynamics shape our emotional world.
I incorporate somatic awareness, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to support clients in reconnecting with themselves and fostering resilience.
At the core of my work is the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth. My role is to walk alongside clients with curiosity, warmth, and deep respect for their unique lived experience.
