Heal your past. Integrate your present. Align your future.

Specialized psychotherapy for women and LGBTQ+ adults navigating attachment trauma, relationships, self-worth, and identity

Transform entrenched patterns, build emotional resilience, and cultivate secure connection with yourself and others

Starting therapy is a revolution.

You don’t have to settle, and you know it. You believe an examined life is an empowered life, so you’ve chosen curiosity.

What’s working for me? What isn’t?

Can I look closely at myself with compassion? At the same time, can I challenge myself to move through the world in a new way?

My work is to join you in yours. To guide you through this conversation with yourself and enrich it with clinical expertise. To give you the support you need to be courageous. And to be as invested in your journey as you are.

We’re all just walking each other home. - Ram Dass

The more time I’ve spent in my chair, the more I’ve come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as a central agent of change. Research consistently shows it to be among the strongest and most reliable predictors of positive outcomes, and I see this reflected every day in my practice.

We all need connection, understanding, and yes, sometimes help. Beyond education, training, and experience, it is my humanity I bring most fully to session. I want to meet you where it hurts, where things feel stuck, or where life stopped making sense. I’ve been there, too—and I know you can heal.
