Great to meet you!

Welcome! I support children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges like trauma, anxiety, or feelings of hopelessness. If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, know that there’s hope, and therapy can help. With over seven years of experience working with individuals from all walks of life, I’m passionate about helping my clients feel empowered and in control. Together, we’ll work to create positive change and move toward a brighter, more balanced future.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and play therapy. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, tailoring our work to fit your unique needs and experiences. By blending techniques from different modalities, we’ll help you build new skills that empower you to take charge of your life and find relief from the distress you’ve been feeling.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to be a steady source of guidance and encouragement as you navigate your journey. I work with children, adolescents, and caregivers to help them rediscover a sense of well-being, safety, and joy in life. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’m passionate about helping youth and caregivers uncover the best parts of themselves, heal, and embrace self-love and growth.
