Great to meet you!

I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. With 4 years of experience, I strive to create a supportive and judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, open-minded, and empathetic, while also bringing honesty and humor into the therapeutic process when appropriate. I welcome anyone seeking mental health support and value building authentic connections that help clients feel safe, empowered, and understood throughout their journey.

What you can expect from me

The first session is all about getting to know you. We will explore what has brought you to therapy and what your hopes and goals are.
