Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist who is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I view therapy as a partnership where we explore your experiences in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I’ll support you in understanding patterns, building coping skills, and cultivating self-compassion as you move toward healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I draw from several evidence-based practices—such as CBT, REBT, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches—to meet you where you are. I believe that each person’s story is a unique journey, and I tailor our work together to fit your individual needs, goals, and strengths.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can simply be yourself. We’ll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy, what you’d like to work on, and what you hope to gain from our time together. I’ll also share a bit about how I work, answer any questions you might have, and collaborate with you to set meaningful goals that fit your needs. My intention is that you leave the session feeling seen, heard, and supported in taking this important first step toward your growth and well-being.
