I believe that meaningful change begins with curiosity, connection, and a deeper understanding of ourselves. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in the belief that we are not simply shaped by our past experiences; we also possess an extraordinary capacity for growth, healing, and transformation.

My path to becoming a psychotherapist has been anything but conventional. Before entering the field of mental health, I spent more than two decades working in the creative and entertainment industries as a costume designer, stylist, and designer. My fascination with human behavior, identity, intimacy, and the ways we connect with one another eventually led me to pursue a career in human sexuality and relationship coaching. That journey ultimately brought me to psychotherapy, where I could bring together my longstanding interests in human connection, psychology, and personal development.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Mount Saint Mary's University and have trained in Relational Gestalt Therapy through The Relational Center. My clinical approach integrates relational psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive psychology. I am particularly interested in the science of neuroplasticity, love, relationships, and patterns of thinking can evolve throughout our lives.

I believe therapy should be both compassionate and empowering. Together, we explore the experiences, beliefs, and relational patterns that may be keeping you from living a more connected and fulfilling life. My work emphasizes self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, self-compassion, and the development of practical tools that support lasting change.

I have a particular interest in relationships and intimacy, sexuality, women's issues, life transitions, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and the many ways our personal histories influence how we experience ourselves and others. As a Certified Sex Coach, I bring an open, affirming, and nonjudgmental perspective to conversations about sexuality, intimacy, and relationships.

I am also passionate about the role of community and connection in psychological well-being. Through my training, clinical work, volunteer leadership, and nonprofit involvement at The Relational Center, I have developed a deep appreciation for the ways meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging contribute to our capacity to thrive.

Ultimately, I see psychotherapy as an opportunity to become more fully ourselves: to understand our stories without being defined by them, to develop more meaningful relationships, and to create lives that feel authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling.

I believe that a more meaningful life is not something we simply discover. It is something we can actively create.
