Hi! I’m Nava

A woman with short black hair and bangs stands in an open doorway of a brick building, holding a mug in her hands and smiling at the camera. She is wearing a green cardigan over a brown top and black pants, with sneakers. The door has the number 198 above it, and there is a welcome doormat inside that says 'YAY!'. Plants are visible outside on either side of the doorway.

I'm so glad you're here!

Life can be complicated, and sometimes we need a place to slow down and listen more closely to ourselves. Therapy can offer an opportunity to make sense of our experiences, deepen our understanding of who we are, and create space for the parts of ourselves that may have been overlooked, protected, or carrying more than they should have to.

With warmth and curiosity, I support individuals, couples, and other relationships in exploring life's challenges, strengthening their relationships, and moving toward lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling. It is a privilege to sit alongside people as they navigate pain, uncertainty, growth, and change.
