A space for re-authoring the stories we live inside — through trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, and the changes life brings.

    What if the things that make you different are your strengths?

I’m curious about your experiences, the challenges you’ve faced, and the meanings you’ve assigned to them. Together, we’ll reconnect you with your core values, preferences, and the insights from your life. I support individuals, couples, families, and groups, fostering growth and healing through relationships rooted in meaning, accountability, and compassion. Change happens through relationships. Therapy, at its best, is a way to re-author the stories we're living, highlighting moments beyond the problem’s scope and deepening our understanding of who we are when the problem isn’t in control. I promise to bring dignity, intellect, compassion, humor, and honesty to each session. Our identity can feel constrained by societal expectations. I believe there's no greater suffering than an untold story. Discovering and understanding ourselves, and choosing how to move forward with that knowledge, offers true freedom. I am committed to social justice, respecting each person's knowledge of their own life, and standing against violence, abuse, marginalization, and oppression in all forms.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

Moon Bloom Therapy is a practice grounded in the belief that every life carries more stories than the one a problem is currently telling. The work here is collaborative — making space for what’s been pressed down, listening for what’s been overlooked, and supporting the slow unfolding of who you are when the problem isn’t the loudest voice in the room.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." — E. E. Cummings
