Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist with many years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging and meaningful transitions. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, and I bring a deep respect for each person’s unique story, strengths, and needs.

I specialize in working with older adults and geriatric populations, offering compassionate support around aging, identity, grief, caregiving, medical changes, and major life adjustments. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, creating a safe, affirming, and knowledgeable space where people of all genders, sexualities, and identities can explore their experiences without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practice, and a belief in each person’s capacity for resilience and growth. Whether you are navigating complex emotions, seeking greater clarity, or hoping to strengthen your sense of self and well-being, it is my goal to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a judgement free, safe space to explore their goals. Thank you for considering me as a partner in your therapeutic journey. I look forward to supporting you in the ways that feel most meaningful to you.
