Great to meet you!

Stop Scrolling. Start Healing. Your future self will thank you. Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, with laughter and warmth along the way

With 22 years of experience, I’ve worked with people where life happens—in their homes, at their schools, and in their communities. I’ve helped children, teens, and adults navigate life’s toughest moments, from managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression to handling relationships, big transitions, and everyday stressors

My passion? Helping people who’ve been through the kind of experiences that leave you struggling to make sense of it all

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered, supportive, and down-to-earth. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely comfortable, understood, and never judged. My clients describe me as insightful, easy to talk to, a great listener, with great sense of humor (Also, I have ADHD, so sessions are never boring.)

I also know that life doesn’t fit neatly into a 9-to-5 schedule, which is why I offer online therapy from 12 PM to 12 AM. Whether you’re here to work through a tough situation, manage stress, or just figure out how to feel like you again, we’ll build a plan that works for you. Growth happens best with honesty, understanding, and just the right amount of humor.

What you can expect from me

So take a breath. You’ve already taken the first step, and that’s huge. Let’s figure this out together.
