I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full self without fear of judgment. I’m a warm, open-minded, and collaborative therapist who values meeting clients where they are and helping them feel understood.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, substance use, and the many changes that come with different stages of life. I understand that asking for help can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a comfortable environment where you can be honest, explore what you’re experiencing, and move at a pace that feels right for you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can figure it out together.

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide support, perspective, and clinical tools to help you better understand yourself and make meaningful changes.

Depending on your needs, we may explore thought patterns, emotions, behaviors, relationships, boundaries, coping skills, and experiences that may be affecting how you function today. I incorporate evidence-based strategies while remaining flexible because therapy should be individualized to you—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

I want therapy to be a place where you can gain insight, build confidence, develop practical skills, and feel empowered to make choices that align with the life you want.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing, what you would like to be different, and what you hope to gain from therapy.

I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, relationships, experiences, strengths, and goals so I can better understand the bigger picture. You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for whether my approach is a good fit for you.

You don’t need to come prepared with the “right” things to say. We can start wherever you are, and we’ll work together to identify where you’d like to go from there.
