A place where your full humanity is welcome.
In a world that often asks us to move quickly, perform, and keep going, therapy offers something increasingly rare: a space where you can slow down, allow the truth to emerge, and be met with acceptance.
Change often begins with feeling truly seen.
Before entering the counseling profession, I worked as a health researcher. Much of my work involved listening to individuals living with chronic illness, disability, caregiving responsibilities, and loss. Again and again, I found myself drawn not only to what people were experiencing, but to the experience of being with them as they told their stories.
I became a therapist because I spent years listening to people's stories and discovered that I couldn't imagine doing anything more meaningful.
Over time, I realized that what interested me most was not collecting information about people's lives—it was helping people make sense of their lives while they were living them. That realization eventually led me to become a therapist.
I became the therapist I once needed.
My path to this work was also shaped by my own experiences. Like many people who find their way into therapy, I have navigated seasons of grief, uncertainty, career-related distress, chronic pain, depression and anxiety.
Those experiences deepened my understanding of what it means to be human. They taught me how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help and how transformative it can be to receive it from professionals but more so how to receive care from ourselves.
Today, I work with adults facing many different challenges, but I am especially drawn to those who learned to be resilient long before they had the chance to feel supported. Together, we make room for the parts of themselves they have had to set aside in order to keep going.
