Great to meet you!

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.

I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.

My approach to therapy

I use a strengths‐based approach and tailor therapy to your goals and pace. My work often includes CBT and DBT, but the heart of my approach is creating a safe, collaborative environment where you can build tools, gain insight, and move toward the life you want.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a gentle starting point. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most important right now. There’s no pressure to share anything before you’re ready. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, grounded, and confident that you have someone walking alongside you as we begin this journey forward.
