Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! My passion is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals and couples who are ready to break free from patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycles, so that you can build healthier relationships, stronger self-worth, and a more fulfilling life. My specialties include Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Relationship Counseling.

If you’re struggling with low self-worth, constant self-doubt, people-pleasing patterns, intrusive thoughts, difficulty expressing your needs in a healthy way, or find yourself repeating patterns or behaviors you’re ready to heal from, we might be an excellent fit!

My approach to therapy

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. This approach blends the structure and effectiveness of evidence-based therapy with the warmth and flexibility of supportive, holistic care. This balanced approach is ideal for individuals who value both tangible results and a compassionate therapeutic relationship. In addition to evidence-based methods, I may incorporate techniques such as inner-child work, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and spirituality, depending on what best serves your needs.

Disclaimer: I accept insurance for individual therapy. Couples therapy is offered as a private-pay service.

Exception: If you are already an established individual therapy client, there may be opportunities to include your partner in select sessions when it is clinically appropriate and directly supports your individual treatment goals. These sessions are determined on a case-by-case basis. Clients seeking couples therapy as their primary service will be seen on a private-pay basis.

What you can expect from me

As your therapist, you can expect a space where you feel heard, understood, challenged when needed, and supported throughout the entire process. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if this is your first experience seeking mental health support. I strive to create a calm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment from the very first session. Together, we will identify a few meaningful goals and discuss a personalized treatment approach tailored to your needs.
