Great to meet you!

Life can sometimes leave us feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or defeated, but know that you are not alone in this journey. While reaching out for help can feel intimidating, seeking therapy takes courage, and it’s a sign of strength to recognize the need for support and growth. I offer individual psychotherapy where, together, we can explore your unique situation—whether it’s stress, medical illness, caregiving, significant life changes, grief, or any other challenges.

My approach to therapy

I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to understanding ourselves and the challenges we face. I provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while feeling heard and supported. My approach draws from strengths-based, psychodynamic, CBT, and motivational interviewing techniques.

What you can expect from me

We can work together to develop practical tools and strategies that support healing, growth, and the creation of a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I welcome you to reach out for a brief initial consultation to determine whether I am the right fit for you.
