Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I am glad you are here. With over 15 years of experience as a licensed mental health therapist, I help children and adults successfully navigate life's challenges and transitions.

My approach to therapy

Online therapy with me is conversational, supportive, and completely tailored to you. My practice is also collaborative and solution-focused. While we will honor and explore your past, our primary focus will be equipping you with practical, real-world tools to improve your present daily life. Whether you are healing from the past or navigating a difficult present, I provide the safe space and clinical tools to help you move toward a healthier, more balanced mind. Let's connect and start your journey.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about creating a safe, confidential, and respectful space where you can share your story without judgment. The initial intake session is less about jumping into deep therapy and more about building a strong connection and understanding your unique story. We will discuss what brings you to therapy right now and explore your history, strengths, and current challenges. There is no right or wrong way to feel, and no topic is off-limits. You can come as you are.
