For those who want more from therapy
I believe the purpose of therapy is to create meaningful change that leads to a free and fulfilling life.
My approach balances compassion with challenge. Through compassion, we explore the grief, aches, and pain that have kept you from living in full alignment with yourself. From there, we begin to challenge and face the deeply ingrained patterns shaping your emotions, relationships, and sense of identity.
We engage this work together—honestly and deeply—so that you can emerge with a stronger sense of self-agency and acceptance, able to move forward and live well.
This philosophy is the foundation of Compassionate Collective.
Where Healing Begins
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy can go deeper than managing symptoms.
In our work together, we slow down to explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape your life — so real, lasting change becomes possible.
Couples
Therapy
Relationship struggles often run deeper than the argument in front of you. In couples therapy we work to understand the patterns pulling you apart — and rebuild the connection that brings you back together.
Supervision & Consultation
Good supervision changes everything. I work with pre-licensed and licensed therapists who want more than just hours logged. I offer a thoughtful space to grow your skills, deepen your practice, and find your footing.Specializing in:
