Great to meet you!

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been working with clients since 2021. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity — the big, tender stuff that often doesn't have an easy answer but always deserves a real conversation.

I work with adolescents and adults but to be honest, my door is open to anyone having a human experience. Which, is all of us.

My approach draws from Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness — but what that looks like in practice is less textbook and more tailored to you. Some people need tools and strategies. Some people just need to feel genuinely heard for the first time in a long time. Most people need both, and we figure that out together.

I show up as a real person. I'm warm, honest, occasionally funny, and always in your corner. You won't find me blank-faced or judgmental. You will find someone who is genuinely invested in your story and rooting for you, every step of the way.

My approach to therapy

Here's what I believe: therapy is nothing without relationship. Before we dive into anything else, we build that first. Trust isn't assumed — it's earned, and I take that seriously. From there, everything moves at your pace, in your direction. This is your process, and I mean that. I'm not going to show up with a rigid agenda or push you somewhere you're not ready to go.

That said — I will challenge you. Gently, honestly, and always with your growth in mind. Think of it less as being pushed and more as having someone who believes in what you're capable of, even when you're not sure you do yet.

What you can expect from me

We'll spend time on some background questions — the kind that help me understand your history and what's brought you here. However, if you walk in carrying something that can't wait, we tend to that first. The paperwork will get done. You are the priority. Always.
