Great to meet you!

My hope is that you will find our sessions to be a safe space where you can share, feel supported, and grow. I believe you are the expert of your story and look forward to meeting you exactly where you are in this present moment. Your feelings and experiences are valid; reaching out for support shows your strength.

I have experience helping clients manage depression, anxiety, grief, career changes, relationships, parenting and postpartum struggles, and complex trauma healing.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of approaches with clients, depending on their diagnosis and needs. I utilize CBT resources, DBT techniques, and harm reduction methods. I enjoy providing clients with resources to read or try outside of the session. I also enjoy short-term, solutions-focused therapy for career changes, life transitions, moves, and school decisions.

What you can expect from me

I enjoy sharing resources with clients to work on outside of session. I encourage mindfulness practice, movement that brings you joy, and connection with your emotions.

I create a warm and friendly environment to help facilitate inner healing. I look forward to working with you.
