Great to meet you!

As a fully licensed mental health therapist, I believe self-awareness and meaningful connections are essential to finding happiness and stability in life. Taking the first step to seek support can be challenging, so congratulations on reaching out! I’ve been practicing since 2020 and, at the end of 2024, I decided to start my own private practice. I primarily work with individuals (ages 12 and older) who find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or other life adjustment challenges.

My approach to therapy

No two stories are the same—everyone’s life journey is unique and deserves a personalized approach to therapy. I believe in a collaborative partnership, meeting you where you are and working together to reduce mental health symptoms. Honesty, empathy, and respect are the core principles I bring to every session. Throughout your journey, I’ll be here to listen, challenge, and support you every step of the way.

What you can expect from me

Meeting someone new can feel a little awkward, and therapy is no exception! Being vulnerable isn’t always easy—especially with someone you’ve just met. That’s why I use intake sessions focus on building rapport and creating a safe, comfortable environment where you can feel at ease. We will spend time exploring what brings you to therapy and what you are wanting to get out of our journey together. We’ll always work at your pace!
