THE LIFE I BRING TO THE WORK
I grew up in the Midwest, with childhood visits to Turkey opening a window into different cultures and ways of living.
That curiosity led me to study anthropology. Learning about human development, culture, and change taught me to look beneath the surface—a perspective I still bring to therapy.
As a parent of two children, I know that family life asks us to keep learning. There isn’t a handbook for every conversation or transition. I bring that humanity into the room alongside my professional training.
Outside the practice, life includes playing tag with my kids, time with friends, and fostering kittens.
HOW I WORK
I work with couples, families, siblings, teens, and individuals. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive of diverse cultures, identities, and family structures.
Emotionally Focused Therapy explores the emotions and attachment needs beneath relationship patterns.
Psychodynamic work offers a way to explore how past experiences shape present-day responses.
We talk about your needs and goals, making space for your perspective as we work together.
