Great to meet you!

Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck — in old patterns, unfulfilling relationships, burnout, self-doubt, or simply a version of life that no longer feels as though it fits. They feel overwhelmed and unsure of what’s next- only knowing that things can’t stay the same. Whether the shift you’re craving is internal or external, the desire for change is often the first step toward meaningful growth. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or stress, struggling within relationships, rebuilding after loss, emotional burnout, or seeking a deeper sense of clarity and connection in their lives. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, genuine, and client centered.

My approach to therapy

I draw from a holistic and integrative approach, combining elements of different therapy modalities according to the needs of each individual client. Common modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (to address anxiety), Psychodynamic (evaluate how the past affects your present), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings) and Interpersonal Therapy (to address interpersonal relationships).

What you can expect from me

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you - it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll slow things down, explore what’s keeping you stuck, and begin to build something new — a version of your life that feels more aligned, more grounded, and more you. If you're ready for things to be different — or even if you're just starting to imagine that possibility — I'm here to support you in taking that next step.
