Great to meet you!

I work with young people and adults who are dealing with stress, sadness, or questions about who they are and what’s next. My aim is to help you figure out your worries, strengths, and values so you can become your best self and build a life you love.

My approach to therapy

With my background as an artist and my own journey from tech to therapy, I bring a unique perspective that helps me understand change and transition. I’m really passionate about this work because going through my own life changes and discovering therapy made a big difference for me — and I love helping others experience that same transformation. I utilize a variety of techniques including EMDR, DBT, art therapy, and narrative therapy to meet you where you're at.

What you can expect from me

In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, figure out where you’re at, where you want to go, and how we can get there. Therapy isn’t always quick or easy, but I’ll bring positive energy and support — and I believe we can have some fun along the way too!

Let’s work together to explore your possibilities and create the life you want.
