About Me and My Practice

About Me

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practice from a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic perspective, inviting clients to explore the deeper patterns that shape their lives. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life's many complexities. My work is rooted in the therapeutic relationship, offering a space where you can feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as we make sense of your experiences together and foster lasting growth.

Therapy Style

I integrate clinical expertise with a compassionate, holistic view of the human experience. Drawing from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic perspective, we’ll explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape your relationships, emotions, and sense of self. Together, we’ll begin to untangle what no longer serves you and make space for a more empowered, authentic way of being you in the world. I utilize empathy and am guided by evidence-based practices, while always honoring your unique story. I believe meaningful change begins with genuine connection. Specializing in trauma, depression, and anxiety, I help clients explore both thoughts and somatic representations, the body's symbolic expression of unconscious experience. Together, we will examine how sensations and emotions reveal internal conflicts and unspoken stories, integrating mind and body to enhance insight, emotional connection, and genuine presence.

The road to healing requires someone to bear witness to our story with unwavering steadiness, offering a grounding presence as we find our footing. Someone who doesn’t rush to fix, but creates space to explore where the pain comes from, how it shapes us, and brings gentle, nonjudgmental curiosity to the work of healing. Pain must be witnessed and grieved, not to remain stuck, but to process it fully, integrating it into our story to soften its hold and open space for transformation.
