Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship stress, or the emotional weight of a chronic health condition. You may be tired of overthinking, feeling stuck, or pretending you're okay when you're not. I work with teens, adults, and couples who are ready for honest conversations, practical solutions, and real progress. You'll get compassion, straightforward feedback, and even a little humor along the way because healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should help you feel better, not just give you another place to vent. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and focus on practical changes that improve your relationships, manage difficult emotions, and help you move forward with confidence. I'll challenge you when you need it, support you when things get hard, and keep our conversations real, honest, and encouraging.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is simply a chance to get to know each other and see if we're the right fit. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you, what's getting in the way of the life you want, and what you hope will change. You'll leave with a better understanding of where to start and whether my approach feels like the right one for you.
