About Me
Embedded Files
My work as a therapist is informed by my own life and work experiences. I have worked in the corporate, social impact, and tech worlds for 10 years in companies both big and small; often across international and cultural contexts, where relationship building was both essential and complicated by professional identity.
And in my own experience as a parent, partner, child, and friend, I've experienced the immensely complicated nature of trying to find/redefine your sense of self in the midst of a relational system, whether it is new, chosen, or biological. I think we are healed in community and belonging and want to support your development in relational contexts– in ways that are supportive and expansive; not constraining or unsafe.

My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy is a relational, deeply collaborative space where your unique history, lived experiences, and personal strengths form the bedrock of our work together.
My practice is centered on offering structured, trauma-informed guidance to help you navigate pivotal life transitions and process complex relational dynamics. Grounded in a decade of experience across tech, corporate, and social impact sectors—often within international contexts—I bring a nuanced understanding of professional identity, workplace stress, and systemic dynamics into every session. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools to unwind stuck patterns, foster self-discovery, and cultivate meaningful, lasting resilience.
Who I Work With
I work best with parents, caregivers, and professionals who are ready to take intentional steps toward personal growth and emotional balance. Whether you are adapting to major career shifts, stepping into parenthood, supporting aging family members through health hurdles, or navigating relationship loss, we will create a grounded, empathetic partnership so you never have to walk through big life changes alone.
