Great to meet you!

Are you looking for a therapy experience that is different from what you see on TV or in movies? Do you dislike the idea of talking to somebody in a suit and tie? I did too. That's why I offer a relaxed, fun, and a little bit irreverent style of therapy that encourages you to just be you. And I never wear a suit and tie. I specialize in Substance Use, Anxiety, Stress, & Self-Esteem. I understand asking for help takes strength, courage, & desire to be your best self. I'm here to help, not judge.

My approach to therapy

I love working with adults who want to do something about substance use, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem because when you begin to see changes in yourself, I get to see you be the person you want to be. I believe my role is to help you become the best version of you.

What you can expect from me

Feeling nervous about your first therapy session? Or maybe your first session with a new therapist? You’re not alone, this is very common. The first session isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about building a connection. We’ll explore your background, concerns, and hopes, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you as we create a plan that supports your goals.
