Great to meet you!

Whether you're navigating relationship stress, trying to break patterns that keep holding you back, or simply ready to invest in yourself, therapy can be a space where your strengths become your foundation. I am passionate about creating a safe space for you to focus on yourself and the goals we create together.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a trauma informed practice with techniques from DBT and CBT to help navigate relationships and stress. I incorporate warmth and understanding while staying accountable to the goals we have created together. Wherever you are in your journey is a good place for us to begin working on your mental health goals one step at a time.

What you can expect from me

I have a strengths-based and person-centered approach. Searching for a new therapist can be daunting and you've already taken a meaningful first step by being here. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations so we can see if we're a good fit before you commit.
