Great to meet you!

Do you often feel like you seem capable on the outside, but are silently struggling inside with anxiety or depression? I specialize in helping adult professionals who feel stretched thin with responsibilities. I aim to help you reconnect with yourself.

I work with clients statewide via telehealth only.

My approach to therapy

My approach varies depending on each client's needs. Drawing on a blend of evidence-based therapies (e.g, CBT, ACT, & DBT), I help you explore your past and current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by asking thoughtful questions to uncover insights and develop practical strategies for change. I try to approach therapy with warmth and authenticity. There will also be the occasional jokes, cussing, and gentle challenges (all when appropriate).

What you can expect from me

In our first few sessions and throughout our journey together, we will work together to establish a connection and explore your concerns in depth. Most importantly, I will ask questions rather than assume what works best for you.
