Great to meet you!

I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which means we work on real, practical skills for managing anxiety, emotions, and stress - not just talking about feelings, but learning what to do with them, Art Therapy for clients who think and process more visually or creatively. Everything is strength-based: I start with what's already working in you and build from there. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and paced by you.

What you can expect from me

The first session is low pressure - we're just getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, what's been hard lately, and what you're hoping therapy might do for you. There's no required format and nothing you have to have figured out beforehand. We'll talk about what you want sessions to look like and I'll share a little about how I work. By the end, you should have a clearer picture of whether we're a good fit. I want you to leave our first session with a sense of whether you feel comfortable, understood, and supported in the space we create together. Therapy is personal, and finding the right connection matters.
