Great to meet you!

Therapy is a collaborative journey. Together, we’ll explore the patterns in your life, uncover your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence. My approach blends evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care—with a deep respect for your individual story and pace.

I believe therapy works best when it’s built on trust and partnership. You bring your experiences and willingness to grow; I bring my expertise, empathy, and professional training. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where real change can happen.

My approach to therapy

Growth often begins with small steps—openness, self-kindness, patience, and even a sense of humor. Through this process, it’s possible to experience healing and transformation on psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adults, and families through many of life’s challenges. My specialties include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, divorce, and blending families.

What you can expect from me

Our first session we will explore what brought you to my office and what you hope to accomplish in our time together. In this session I will take a history of your concerns and your experience in therapy.
