Great to meet you!

So many of us are carrying stress, burnout, grief, trauma, broken relationships, or simply the feeling of being stuck — and you don’t have to navigate that alone.

I offer a calm, safe space where you can talk openly about what’s weighing on your mind and heart. My goal is to help you find real peace, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose during this season of your life.

My approach to therapy

Here are some of my areas of expertise (not limited to):

  • Depression
  • Anxiety Disorders
  • Grief and Loss
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Sexual Abuse and Sex Trafficking
  • Trauma and Crisis Intervention
  • Behavioral and Emotional Challenges
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Domestic Violence and Intimate Partner Violence
  • Substance Use Disorders
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Adjustment Disorders

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space to talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to work on. We’ll explore your goals, discuss any questions you have, and begin getting to know each other at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My priority is to help you feel heard, supported, and understood as we start building a foundation for your healing and growth.
