Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit can be daunting, and it takes courage to begin the process at all. Many of my clients come to therapy after seeing one or more therapists in the past and still feeling misunderstood or unsupported in the ways they truly needed. My work is rooted in addressing the underlying causes of suffering within individuals and relational systems, allowing me to provide thoughtful, effective care to children, teens, adults, couples, and families who may not have found therapy helpful before. Clients often describe my approach as engaged, collaborative, refreshing, and deeply compassionate.

​

I come to this work with a lifelong passion for emotional and relational wellness, shaped by a diverse background in education, theater, culinary arts, and Yoga, alongside extensive training in human development and counseling. My therapeutic lens is trauma- and attachment-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I practice from a framework of cultural humility that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and prioritizes collaboration, authenticity, and advocacy.

​

I am especially passionate about supporting couples, families, and children impacted by trauma and neurodivergence, and helping clients build deeper, safer, and more connected relationships with themselves and others.

​

In June 2024, I founded Heartwise Counseling with the vision of creating a practice grounded in affirming, relationally-focused, and effective care. I am deeply committed not only to supporting clients, but also to mentoring and training therapists to show up with humanity, authenticity, curiosity, and compassion in their work.

​

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time in nature, trying new restaurants, caring for my houseplants, practicing Yoga, and connecting deeply with my partner and close friends. I also love spending time with my two “foster fail” pups, Barry and Molly.

​

You deserve support from someone who is committed to truly understanding you and helping you create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re seeking healing for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process. Let’s connect.
