Great to meet you!

I believe therapy is a collaborative space for reflection and growth. My philosophy centers on gently challenging unhelpful beliefs and encouraging curiosity about the patterns that shape your life. Together, we work toward clearer understanding, greater freedom, and meaningful, self-guided change.

I support clients with autism spectrum differences, trauma, mood and thought disorders, anxiety, and depression. I focus on helping clients understand and manage their emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and navigate life's challenges more effectively. Together, we work toward building skills that improve daily functioning, enhance well-being, and support meaningful, value-driven living

I have provided therapy in residential, outpatient, primary care, and telehealth settings. My Master's in Public Administration helps me integrate knowledge of systems and community resources to support clients' well-being and guide them in navigating life's challenges

My approach to therapy

I help clients explore their inner world through a philosophical lens, questioning the beliefs that keep them stuck. By gently challenging assumptions and encouraging deeper reflection, I support people in discovering new ways of understanding themselves and their choices. Together, we create space for clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

I offer a warm, reflective space to explore what’s holding you back and what’s possible ahead. Together, we’ll examine the beliefs shaping your life, clarify what truly matters, and uncover new ways forward. If you’re ready for insight, growth, and meaningful change, I’d be honored to support you—reach out when you’re ready.

What you can expect from me

We'll start by talking about what's been going on for you—your current concerns, any symptoms you're experiencing, and what you hope will change. I may ask some background questions about your history, but you can share as much or as little as you're ready for. This session is also a chance for you to ask me questions and get a sense of whether you feel I'm a good fit.
