Great to meet you!

Hi! I teach mental health skills that empower people to live the life they envision for themselves. Through behavorial and person-centered approaches, I help clients combat negative thoughts-feelings-behaviors, build healthy coping mechanisms, and unlock potential.

My approach to therapy

Together, we’ll examine how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other so you can replace them with healthier patterns, get unstuck, and build the life you’ve always dreamed about. We'll also work on boundaries, communication, and distress tolerance so you can make the changes in your life that you desire.

In a world that pulls our focus in so many directions, we’ll create a space just for you and your north star.

What you can expect from me

I’ll start by getting a holistic picture of who you are and who you want to be. I like to get a sense of what you want your life to look like so we can co-create a vision that we can work towards together. Part of that work will include identifying your strengths and building skills to reach your goals.
