Great to meet you!

I’m known for creating a supportive space where clients don’t have to have everything figured out. I work especially well with people who are used to being capable, independent, and “holding it all together,” but are finding themselves overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.

Originally from the East Coast and now in Colorado, I bring a blend of East Coast directness and Colorado’s appreciation for the outdoors, movement, and personal growth. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, build a stronger sense of identity, and feel empowered to take on life’s challenges.

My approach to therapy

I’m direct, but always compassionate. I’ll gently point out patterns, remind you of strengths, celebrate progress, and challenge beliefs that may be holding you back—while helping you build the confidence to trust yourself. I also value practical psychoeducation, helping you understand how anxiety, trauma, thoughts, emotions, and your nervous system interact so you can respond with greater self-awareness and self-compassion.

We won’t just “think positive”; we’ll understand why your mind and body respond the way they do and build tools that work when life feels overwhelming. I’ll also help you reconnect with yourself, develop a stronger sense of identity, and build the confidence and empowerment to face life’s challenges. Healing can happen beyond the therapy room, incorporating mindfulness, grounding, movement, and the outdoors when they fit your life.

What you can expect from me

Expect to talk, but also moments of silence—because sometimes the most important work happens there. Therapy isn’t about finding perfect words or becoming someone different; it’s about learning to listen to yourself with curiosity instead of criticism. Each session will leave you with a next step, whether that’s a new perspective, a coping skill, a boundary, or a small action toward the life you want. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just bring yourself, and we’ll take it one step at a time.
