Great to meet you!

No insurance? No problem. Please reach out directly:) My approach is compassionate and easygoing, creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, and supported. I take a multi-theoretical approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, we’ll explore how your experiences, relationships, and past may be impacting you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, with treatment tailored to your unique needs and goals. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and my work is faith-informed for those who would like to integrate their beliefs and spirituality into the counseling process.

I'm currently offering virtual therapy but will be transitioning to an office-space summer 2026! I enjoy working with any age group, from early adolescence to older adults.

My approach to therapy

I take a directive yet compassionate approach to therapy. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about what’s wrong—it’s about understanding what’s keeping you stuck and finding ways to move forward. I’ll actively listen, offer guidance and practical interventions, and work collaboratively with you toward meaningful goals. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable while building skills and monitoring progress along the way.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling, including feeling heard and validated. I’ll explain my approach and begin developing a treatment plan with you. Most importantly, we’ll move at a comfortable pace and leave time for your questions.
