Great to meet you!

I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, overthinking, relationship stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

I provide telehealth sessions that are structured, supportive, and focused on real progress. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, build practical coping skills, and feel more confident in your decisions and relationships.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I work to make therapy feel clear, actionable, and tailored to your specific needs—so you’re not just talking, but actually seeing change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you make real progress—not just talk about what’s wrong.

I use evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help you understand patterns, manage anxiety, and improve how you respond to stress and relationships.

In our sessions, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create clear, actionable steps forward. My goal is for you to leave sessions with insight, direction, and strategies you can actually use in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what’s bringing you in, what you want to change, and what’s been keeping you stuck.

I’ll ask focused questions to identify patterns, clarify your goals, and start building a clear, practical plan for moving forward. You don’t need to have the “right words” or everything figured out—we’ll work through that together.

We’ll also talk about what to expect from therapy and how to build consistency so you can start seeing real progress.

My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling understood, more clear, and confident about next steps.
