my mission

Why I do “what I do”…

I do this work because I’ve lived it.

Infertility. Infidelity. Treatment-resistant depression. A major career change, divorce, and sexual abuse. It’s all there, in my own long, disorienting dark nights of the soul. I’m not coming to this from the outside looking in. I’m someone who has had to find her own way through the kind of pain that doesn’t resolve neatly, and that experience is woven into everything I bring to this work.

I’m not your typical therapist. I’m not just going to ask “how does that make you feel?” on a loop, or sit across from you with a notepad, nodding at a careful distance. What I will do is show up fully, meet you where you are, and work with you; using my clinical training, my intuition, and my own experiences to help you make real connections and create real change.
You can expect to be challenged in our work together. I don’t offer advice and will continually turn those questions back to you, so that you can learn to know yourself, trust yourself, and grow more deeply into the person you have always been, under layers of hurt and hardships.

I won’t always tell you that you’re right, I’ll question your assumptions, invite you into new practices and behaviors, and we will absolutely have some conversations that feel uncomfortable. We’ll talk about the things people don’t usually say out loud — sex, money, grief, belief systems, the stories you’ve been telling yourself for years. Nothing is off the table.
This isn’t therapy that happens to you. It’s therapy you’re in, fully, with someone who genuinely knows what it costs to do this kind of work — and what it’s worth.
