Great to meet you!

I’ll be honest: proper therapy is a challenge. My approach is for those ready to dive deep and do the intense work required for a breakthrough. From session one, we set the bar high. Most people come to therapy because they’re tired of being stuck. My approach is active, high-energy, and deeply collaborative. I am right there in the trenches with you, helping you dismantle the patterns that no longer serve you.

My approach to therapy

In my work, I help adults who are navigating anxiety and depression that may result from difficult life transitions, from relationship dynamics, grief and loss, as well as other sudden life disruptions. My goal is to help you get clear on what really matters to you (your values) and find ways to live more in line with them. I like to ask challenging questions and create space for honest, judgment-free conversations that spark insight and your growth. My approach is warm, empathetic, and inquisitive. I draw from several types of modalities to personalize your treatment. Truth is, there isn’t a one size fits all approach to most things in life, and your therapeutic experience shouldn’t be either.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to provide therapy that is personalized to every client’s experience. You are a unique combination of thoughts, feelings, and actions, and together, these make up who you are. While we can’t change the past, we can understand how it shaped you — and from there, write a new chapter that feels more like the life you want to live. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to figure it out alone — we’ll take it one step at a time, together.
