I appreciate that you’ve taken the first steps towards finding the right therapist for you. I value the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a space where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. You are not alone and with gentle guidance and reflection you will find acceptance and create a life where you feel in control of your emotions. I tailor our time together to meet your needs and draw from a variety of client centered approaches to help you navigate your own life and challenges. I use compassion, insight, and humor to create engaging and interactive sessions for you to see the progress you want to make.

I enjoy helping many types of clients in different phases of life. As a parent myself, I especially enjoy working with other parents. Parents find my approach to be relatable and my background in child development helps them understand their child more clearly. As former medical professional, I often work with individuals in medical fields who are experiencing burnout or other stressors from a demanding profession. I also see clients with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Clients find me when they are experiencing grief.

Whether this is your first time working with therapist or you are returning to therapy and looking for the right fit, I am excited to speak with you. I offer a complimentary consultation to learn more about you and for you to learn more about my approach. I look forward to hearing from you!

I meet with clients weekly and we focus on your most important needs and goals. Our therapy will feel like a safe conversation where you feel emotionally held and supported. l approachable and relatable you are the expert in your life. You will find I use both humor and compassion during our sessions.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin exploring what brings you to therapy. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you're used to managing everything on your own. My goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood. We'll talk about your current challenges, what's working in your life, and what you'd like to change. Whether you're navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, parenting, or a major life transition, we'll begin identifying your goals and how therapy can support you. I take a collaborative, personalized approach, and there's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. You can expect compassion, thoughtful questions, and a little humor along the way. Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling understood, hopeful, and confident about our work together.
