About
Here’s what I offer
Rigorous and unique experience across many clinical settings working with diverse populations.
An attachment science lens and trauma-informed approach to help you understand yourself and loved ones.
Through our sessions, you will discover how to communicate more effectively, build stronger emotional connections, and improve your relationship in a tangible, long-lasting way.
I have always been fascinated by humans, love, and relationships.
I remember being young, maybe 12 years old, and becoming obsessed with reading about psychology, love, life, and Buddha for good measure. I was in pursuit of understanding what it is to be human and what it means to love and be loved, knowing it to be complex and the heart of all existence. I wanted to crack the code, if there was a code. Now, I know that the code is largely universal.
There are only so many ways to be human despite our uniqueness and only so many ways to feel love. We all long to know that we matter. Do I truly matter to you? Many of us seek the answer externally, maybe internally, but all of us ask this question of the people we love most, and it's their answer that matters most.
I am still seeking and searching for understanding within myself and alongside my clients.
What I know so far is that, yes, you matter.
You truly do.
