Great to meet you!

I’m a psychotherapist with 14 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families untangle life’s trickiest knots. I specialize in depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, anger, relationship & attachment issues. Think of me as your emotional toolkit - I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailored to fit your unique needs. In short, I’m here to help you tackle what’s weighing you down and find your way to lighter, brighter days.

My approach to therapy

My approach is all about empowering you while celebrating the mind-body-soul connection—because, let's face it, those 3 are the ultimate power trio. Together, we’ll navigate the messy, tough stuff—past, present, and everything in between—to help you heal and grow. Along the way, we’ll uncover practical, doable changes that pave the way to lasting, meaningful progress. The goal? A more authentic, fulfilling life that feels unapologetically you.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a collaborative and supportive approach in our sessions. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel truly connected, to ourselves and to others. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back & discover practical ways to help you move forward toward a more fulfilling life. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm here to walk alongside you on this journey. My hope is that you leave each session feeling hopeful, optimistic, & excited about the possibilities ahead.
