I’m a licensed therapist who believes meaningful change happens when clients feel genuinely understood, respected, and supported. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I meet you where you are and work at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and build practical tools to help you move forward with more clarity and confidence.

I draw from an integrative framework that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, humanistic and client-centered therapy, and Nonviolent Communication. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor sessions to your needs in the moment, focusing on small, meaningful steps that create momentum and real-life change.

I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, stress and burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and adjustment-related concerns. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want support in finding steadiness, self-trust, and direction again.

My style is warm, practical, and reflective. I value helping clients build self-compassion, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop skills they can actually use outside of sessions. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or feeling unsure about your “next chapter,” therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself and create change that feels sustainable and aligned with your values.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, integrative, and grounded in respect for each client’s unique experience. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored—not formulaic—so I draw from a blend of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, humanistic/client-centered therapy, and Nonviolent Communication.

Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, I help clients understand the patterns beneath what they’re experiencing and develop skills that support lasting change. Together, we work on building emotional awareness, strengthening self-compassion, improving communication, and creating small, intentional actions that lead to meaningful progress.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, stress and overwhelm, life transitions, adjustment-related challenges, grief, and relationship concerns. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected and want support reconnecting with themselves and their values. My style is warm, reflective, and practical, with a strong focus on tools clients can apply in daily life.

In the first session, clients can expect a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where they feel heard and respected. We’ll focus on getting to know what brought you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you’re hoping to gain from our work together—without pressure to share more than you’re ready for.

I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your concerns, history, and strengths, while also helping you begin to clarify goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you. For some clients, the first session is about relief and feeling understood; for others, it’s about gaining insight or identifying one small step that can create momentum.

By the end of the session, most clients leave with a clearer sense of direction, an initial focus for therapy, and often a practical takeaway or reflection to carry into the week. My goal is for you to feel supported, grounded, and confident that therapy can be a useful and safe space for you.
