Great to meet you!

I became a therapist because I believe every person has untapped strength and potential to overcome challenges. When life feels overwhelming, our sessions will be a space where you’re heard, understood, and never judged. We’ll figure out what’s getting in your way, talk through the tough stuff, and work on real tools that help you moving forward.

My approach to therapy

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because I believe that when we change how we think, we change how we live. By working together to identify and reshape automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, you can gain greater clarity and control over your emotions and reactions. I also incorporate other therapeutic approaches to best support your

What you can expect from me

Nerves are normal—it takes courage to start! Our first session is focused on making sure you feel safe, comfortable, and understood. We'll start with a warm welcome, briefly cover confidentiality/logistics, and define what success looks like for you. We're partners from minute one.
