Great to meet you!

I have a passion for helping clients navigate life's challenges, find balance, and explore meaningful personal growth. My approach combines a warm, compassionate style with evidence-based practices, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I tailor therapy help you break through negative, self-limiting beliefs and habits that keep you feeling "stuck", using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other strengths based, trauma informed, solution focused therapy modalities. I believe that with the right support you can create the fulfilling life you've always wanted.

My approach to therapy

I support clients living with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship/family issues, life transitions, career issues, grief/loss and trauma. I provide specialized support to loved ones of those with substance use disorders. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and provide support to clients in non-traditional relationship dynamics.

What you can expect from me

I’m deeply committed to providing inclusive, positive, supportive care that builds on your strengths and resilience. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, lacking confidence, wanting to understand yourself better, or looking to become empowered to make lasting changes in your life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
