Great to meet you!

Welcome – I'm Glad You're Here

You don’t have to do it all alone. I work with adults and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnoses, men’s issues, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting first responders, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, student-athletes, and individuals exploring open or non-monogamous relationships.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, you're not broken — and you’re not too much. Life can hit hard, and therapy can offer the space to slow down, be real, and reconnect with your strength.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health, as well as a degree in criminology. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective.

Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to move forward.

A bit about my approach to therapy

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Clients often tell me they feel safe, heard, and challenged in ways that help them grow. I bring an empathetic, honest, and collaborative presence to our work. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you - it’s about helping you make sense of your experiences, strengthen your insight, and live in alignment with your values.

What you can expect from our first session

What to Expect

I offer telehealth sessions across California and currently have availability. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or longer-term exploration, we’ll co-create a path that meets you where you are and helps you move toward where you want to be.
