Great to meet you!

I believe our lived experiences, especially the hardest ones, shape how we see ourselves, build relationships, and move through the world. That belief is why I meet every person I work with on their terms, with empathy, humility, and respect for their journey. I've spent more than 26 years in the mental health field, working alongside people across all levels of care, with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, panic, relationship issues, and the stress that builds quietly over time. I'm a human being too, with my own imperfections, and I believe that's part of what lets me sit with yours without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My client centered approach centers on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore difficult experiences. Through evidence-based practices, genuine connection, and collaboration, I strive to help individuals recognize their strengths, navigate challenges, and move toward meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm introduction to what our journey together may look like, along with a relaxed, casual conversation where we begin getting to know one another. We'll explore what brought you here, what matters most to you, and what inspired you to take this important step toward personal growth and self-improvement.

This is an opportunity for us to learn about one another, begin building trust, and discuss what you hope to gain from our time together. There is no pressure to have all the answers or to know exactly where to begin. We will meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels comfortable, and celebrate the fact that you've made the decision to invest in yourself!
