Great to meet you!

Life changes. Sometimes we're ready for it, and sometimes we're not. Maybe you're heading to college, adjusting to a new stage of adulthood, navigating a midlife transition, or realizing the ways you've been coping aren't working anymore. I help adults 18+ work through anxiety, depression, life changes, and substance use concerns while building the confidence and tools to move forward. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Therapy should feel like a safe place to slow down, be honest and make sense of you are experiencing without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you create meaningful change. We'll look at what's happening in your life, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical tools that fit who you are. When substance use is part of the picture, we'll work without judgment to understand your goals and support healthier ways of coping.
