Great to meet you!

Whether you are navigating anxiety, working through depression, or taking steps to address addiction, you deserve care that meets you where you are. I bring genuine curiosity to every session, taking time to understand your whole story before we talk about next steps. My goal is to give you the tools and clarity to move forward with confidence, whatever that looks like for you. I see my work as a collaboration, and I want you to feel heard, respected, and hopeful from day one.

My approach to therapy

I come to each session with genuine warmth and curiosity, listening carefully before offering any direction. My approach is built around you rather than a fixed method, and I work to make sure every visit feels like a step forward, not just another appointment.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an intake form. I want to hear what has been weighing on you, what you have already tried, and what you hope care can do for you. By the end, you will have a clear sense of how we might work together and what comes next.
