Great to meet you!

Are you ready to heal, grow, and live a more fulfilled life? I am passionate about helping you create meaningful change. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported as you work towards your goals. My background in psychology and counseling has given me a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to begin therapy. I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life stages. My experience includes supporting clients through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and more! I particularly enjoy working with adults, 18 years and older, who are navigating life changes or working to break unhealthy patterns and create a stronger sense of self.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an array of treatment modalities while tailoring sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I strive to help you uncover your strengths, gain new insight, and develop tools for lasting growth. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Person-Centered Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and many more!

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will begin by reviewing your intake paperwork and discussing your goals for therapy. From there, we will gather a mental health background, current means of coping, support systems, and goals for care. My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable, understood, and confident about the path ahead.
