Great to meet you!

I am an LMFT with seven years of experience supporting adults through a range of mental health and life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel more confident, balanced, and connected in their lives.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, direct, and paced according to each client’s readiness. I aim to help clients not only reduce symptoms, but also develop deeper self-understanding, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of confidence and authenticity in who they are.

What you can expect from me

We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your goals for treatment. I understand that being vulnerable with someone you’ve just met can feel uncomfortable, so we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable beginning the therapeutic process.
