Great to meet you!

I am a licensed psychologist with lots of experience working with young adults early in their careers. I'm from the Midwest but I've lived on both coasts and in the south. Politics, family expectations, regional and cultural differences, and societal norms have an impact on our wellbeing. I'm here to help your sort it out.

My approach to therapy

Beyond therapeutic techniques, I am warm and caring. I see you as the expert in your life and will approach you with curiosity and respect. I believe people know what they actually need in order to be happy, my role is to help you to tap into that wisdom.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to have a deep understanding of your and gain new practices for staying focused on your goals and meeting your needs.
