Creativity was my first love, and I began college drawn to the world of fashion, captivated by beauty, design, and the creative process. I still remember sitting in class during a lecture on Ralph Lauren’s latest paisley pattern when a question quietly surfaced: “How will this help humanity?” That question eventually led me toward psychology, only to discover years later that I had never really left creativity behind. It returned in a different form, as an essential part of how I understand healing, growth, and the many ways we find our way back to ourselves.

Today, I approach therapy with curiosity about what lies beneath our suffering. I do not always see anxiety and depression simply as symptoms to silence. Sometimes they are signals that something within us has gone unheard for too long. My understanding of depression is both clinical and personal. Having known its landscape myself, I understand the difference between knowing something intellectually and actually having to find your way through it.

Depth and Jungian psychology shape much of how I see the human experience, balanced by practical approaches that help turn insight into meaningful change. I also bring a perspective shaped by many seasons of life, including profound change, uncertainty, and beginning again. These experiences have given me a particular sensitivity to those whose lives have been shaped by displacement, cultural transition, or experiences that have altered their sense of safety and belonging.

I have a particular interest in supporting women and couples navigating menopause. My specialized certification, together with a deeply personal understanding of this transition, informs how I approach the changes it can bring to mood, identity, intimacy, and relationships. Menopause is a stage of life I believe deserves far greater understanding, compassion, and care.

Perhaps what I value most in therapy is helping people recognize what has been within them all along, especially the parts of themselves they may have stopped seeing or listening to.
