Great to meet you!

specialize in working with people with mild anxiety, self-esteem, interpersonal relationship issues, as well as finding work/life balance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by either of these, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating stress, or trying to cope with difficult emotions, therapy can offer a grounding path forward. I have years of experience supporting individuals and families on their journey through making meaningful changes, letting go of old patterns, and creating a life that feels more aligned with their values.

My approach to therapy

I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Theory. Through our work together, you’ll gain tools to better manage your emotions, improve self-confidence, and building a more meaningful life.

What you can expect from me

I am here to help. Therapy is a non-judgmental place. I offer online sessions only. Reach out to me today. Schedule a meeting with me or call for a 15-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
