Therapy for those ready to know themselves more deeply.
Individual counseling for adolescents and adults, grounded in listening to the whole person.
Three pathways of experience
There are many reasons people come to therapy. Sometimes you're becoming someone new. Sometimes you feel more ready to turn toward yourself. Sometimes life has changed the questions you're asking. My work tends to gather around three interconnected pathways.
-
Finding your way into who you're becoming.
Therapy can be a place to explore identity, emotions, relationships, belonging, independence, and what it means to become yourself.
-
Understanding yourself. Choosing yourself.
Maybe you understand your patterns or maybe you're just beginning to notice them. Either way, you're ready to listen more closely to yourself and create something different.
-
Finding ways to live meaningfully when life doesn't go according to plan.
Chronic illness and pain, caregiving, grief and loss, and other profound life experiences can change how you understand yourself and your future. Therapy can offer space to make sense of what has changed and explore what comes next.
Listen first. Understand deeply. Make space for something new.
Therapy begins with listening, not just to what you say, but to the whole person. We listen to your emotions, your body, your relationships, your patterns, your history, your questions, and the parts of your experience that don't yet have words. Together, we make sense of what you're hearing.
My approach is experiential and integrative, drawing from trauma-informed, somatic, mindfulness-based, and creative/expressive modalities. Our work is collaborative and shaped around your needs, goals, history, and way of experiencing the world.

Music in Counseling
As a board-certified music therapist, I may incorporate music therapy interventions into counseling when they support the work we're doing together. Music can offer another way to explore emotion, memory, identity, relationships, or experiences that are difficult to put into words.
When music therapy interventions are incorporated into counseling, you remain a counseling client. Counseling remains the primary service, therapeutic relationship, clinical record, and billing pathway.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
For some clients, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) offers another pathway for exploring patterns, trauma, emotional experiences, and meaningful change. KAP is offered within a clinical counseling relationship and may be appropriate for clients seeking a deeper or non-traditional approach to their work.
An alternative approach to treatment.
What working together looks like
-
We'll begin with a consultation to talk about what you’re seeking in counseling and whether working together feels like a good fit.
-
We start with listening. We'll spend time getting to know your experiences, history, relationships, patterns, and what matters to you.
-
As we continue, we'll work together to notice what's happening, make sense of it, and explore space for meaningful change.
-
Therapy isn't a fixed formula. As you understand yourself differently and your needs change, our work can change too.
