Introduction

I started my career working with children and families in residential, in-home and outpatient settings. My work as a relational psychodynamic therapist is dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages in their journey toward healing, growth, and connection. With a special focus on working with adults, children, and families, I offer a unique blend of therapeutic approaches to my practice, including play therapy, humor, and strength-based interventions. Together we can explore and understand the root causes of your struggles, navigate complex emotions, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. Examining your challenges allows you to create awareness and notice patterns that may no longer serve you. Together in a non-judgmental space, we can reflect on personal experiences with transparency and self-compassion. I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward self-discovery, personal insight, and emotional healing. Together, you can explore, learn, and grow in a safe, supportive, and empowering space where healing and transformation are possible. This is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
