About Me
I came to this work through my own journey of self discovery, which sparked a lasting curiosity about how people make meaning of their lives, relationships, and struggles. I am deeply interested in the human experience, especially the patterns we find ourselves stuck in and the ways understanding those patterns can open the door to meaningful change.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in research, and I continue to bring that curiosity and analytical lens into my clinical work. I value depth, context, and evidence, while holding the belief that no theory matters more than your lived experience. You are the expert on your own inner world, and my role is to help you access, understand, and trust that wisdom more fully.
Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to who you are. I meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels respectful and sustainable, while actively supporting you in making sense of what is happening beneath the surface. Being a therapist is my calling, and I remain committed to learning, growing, and refining my approach so I can show up with clarity, care, and integrity for the people I work with.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
