Great to meet you!

I work with adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and logotherapy to help clients better understand themselves and what drives their experiences. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. I focus on helping you understand patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you feel and respond to life. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about building self-awareness and clarity so change feels intentional and grounded. We work together in a way that respects your values, pace, and goals.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance to slow things down and begin making sense of what you are carrying. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you hope to gain from the process. There is no pressure to have everything figured out or to share more than you are ready to. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood and clearer about next steps.
