“You do not just wake up and become the butterfly— growth is a process.”
Are you struggling to come to terms with a betrayal of trust, or seeking to get on the same page with your partner about your values and future desires? As a therapist, I can help you decide what is right for you in your relationship and whether and how to continue. I specialize in helping individuals and couples process hard-to-accept realities in their lives, such as a disability, breakup, religious reckoning, and other life transitions.
I’ve always been captivated by love, connection, and the strength people show through life’s toughest moments. Being transracially adopted is a meaningful part of my identity—it’s given me a deep appreciation for the complex, beautiful ways people form relationships and a strong commitment to honoring diversity, neurodiversity, and inclusion.
As your therapist, I offer a calming, collaborative, and nonjudgmental presence. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, empowered, and connected—and that real growth happens when we slow down, reflect together, and make space for what truly matters to you.
I received my Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy from Adler University. As I grow in the field, I find myself drawn to Narrative, Emotionally Focused, and Collaborative therapies—approaches that center your lived experience and emphasize meaningful connection, healing, and change. I attend supervision with Mia Dal Santo, LMFT.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Therapy is a place to begin, and I’m here to walk with you as you move toward a life that feels more authentically yours!
