Great to meet you!

I’m a therapist who believes you shouldn’t have to figure everything out on your own. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and work through things without judgment. With over five years of experience, I’ve supported clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and major life changes.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I’ll meet you where you are, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and work with you to find practical tools that actually fit your life. I believe you already have strengths within you—we’ll work together to recognize them, build on them, and help you feel more confident moving forward.

What you can expect from me

During your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming and nonjudgmental space to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish. We will discuss your current concerns, relevant history, strengths and goals. I will also explain my approach and answer any questions that you may have so that we can determine how to work together collaboratively. If you’re ready to better understand yourself, break patterns that no longer serve you, or simply have someone in your corner, I’d be honored to work with you.
