Great to meet you!

I bring over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families across community mental health, outpatient programs, domestic violence services, and nonprofit leadership. Outside my clinical work, I remain actively involved in my community through volunteer leadership and service on boards and committees.

My approach to therapy

Many professionals seek therapy when anxiety, depression, or burnout leave them questioning their purpose or next steps in life. Whether you're navigating career changes, relationship challenges, or feel dissatisfaction that's hard to pinpoint, I provide a supportive space to reconnect with what matters most. My approach integrates existential therapy, ACT, and solution-focused strategies to help you create meaningful, practical change.

What you can expect from me

I use a structured yet flexible approach that guides us through several life stages to help us both gain a clear understanding of your values, challenges, and strengths. This process allows us to begin identifying patterns, clarifying priorities, and shaping a direction for our work together so therapy feels collaborative, focused, and aligned with what matters most to you.
