Great to meet you!

Whether you are navigating the complexities of young adulthood, experiencing challenges with parenting, going through stressors in your relationship or even life's inevitable stresses, you do not have to walk this path alone. Seeking therapy is a hard first step to take and I want to guide you in increasing self-confidence and fostering healthier relationships while finding a sense of purpose.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in supporting student athletes, individuals coping with grief and loss, those navigating anxiety and life changes, and parents seeking balance and understanding in their family dynamic. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaborations, and evidence based practices that helps client build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

What you can expect from me

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or grief. It's easy to feel stuck, uncertain about how to move forward, or exhausted from trying to manage everything alone. You do not have to face this alone. If you are looking for someone who understands and can support you then you're in the right place.
