I work with individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck in patterns that aren't working anymore. For individuals, that can look like overthinking, persistent stress, self-doubt, burnout, or feeling disconnected from the life you’ve worked hard to build. For couples and families, it may show up as the same conflicts repeating but no meaningful or lasting change, feeling disconnected from one another, or realizing that the way you've always done things isn't working anymore.
We can start by getting curious about those patterns, where they came from, and exploring what you want to be different.
You deserve a place to unpack it all. To question things. Say the fears out loud. Feel your feelings without judgment. A space without deadlines that moves at your speed. Room to breathe.
I want to understand what life has felt like for you and what “different” or “better” would actually mean in your own words. I’ll bring patience and compassion into the room, along with a variety of techniques + tools, but I don’t expect every tool to work for every person. We’ll try things, pay attention to what fits, and stay curious about what doesn’t. Embodying the change you want to see; progress over perfection.
I’ll move at your pace. Whether you come on your own, with your partner, or with your family, the goal is to understand what is keeping you stuck and begin making room for something different. A sturdier sense of self. Deeper connections. A life you’re actually living, not just surviving.
I believe we all learn a kind of blueprint for how life and relationships are supposed to work. We pick up roles, expectations, and ways of responding from our families, relationships, communities, and experiences along the way. Some of our blueprint continues to serve us well. Other parts may have worked for a while but we’ve outgrown what they used to offer..
My approach is systemic, which means I consider what’s happening within you, and the ways your partner, family, and greater life-systems impact you. We’ll pay attention to the relationships, experiences, and environments that have shaped how you see yourself and relate to others. From there, we can reimagine old patterns, strengthen the ones that still serve you, and collaborate on building something different.
I draw from Narrative Therapy principles, incorporate strengths-based practices and trauma-informed approaches, and can adapt our work to you, your relationship, or your family.

I love my work, but when I’m out of the office, you’ll find me spending time with friends, birdwatching, traveling, trying new foods, or diving into a heated game of Uno or Skipbo. Counseling has been a transformative space for me—a place to feel known, understood, and gently challenged to grow. It’s an honor to now hold that same space for others. Two Truths & a Lie (you decide the lie!): My first pets were a duck and a turkey, I caught my first shark at 4 years old, and my first time horseback riding was in Australia. Life’s been quite the adventure! My favorite quote is:
Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better. - Maya Angelou
