Great to meet you!

With over 21 years of experience, I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy for individuals navigating life’s most complex challenges. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns, as well as more complex conditions including bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, eating disorders, and substance use. I also have experience supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, offering affirming care that respects your identity and lived experience.

What you can expect from me

My work is collaborative and tailored to each individual. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical coping strategies, and focus on long-term growth and resilience. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
