Great to meet you!

I believe people can change, no matter how stuck they feel. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship struggles, or substance use, my goal is to provide a place where you feel heard, challenged, and supported. I use practical, evidence-based approaches like CBT, REBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you build lasting change. Therapy changed my own life, and I'm passionate about helping others find hope, healing, and a path forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you create lasting change. I believe people are capable of change, even when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered therapy, tailoring treatment to your individual needs and goals. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we work together to build on your strengths, develop new skills, and help you move toward the life you want to live.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing your story at your own pace. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, explore what's been going on in your life, identify your strengths, and begin setting goals for what you hope to achieve. By the end of the session, you'll have a better understanding of how I work and we'll have a plan for moving forward together.
