Great to meet you!

I am a warm and compassionate therapist who loves to work with teens, young adults, and women on various issues, including relational trauma, depression, anxiety, and dating fatigue. I help my clients with life transitions, depression, anxiety, post-partum issues, trauma in all its forms, academic stress, learning disabilities, substance use issues, peer and relationship issues, crises, suicidality, self-harm, and more.

My approach to therapy

If you are looking for a safe and cozy hour each week to explore ways to nurture yourself, identify effective strategies and skills, and build a life that is true to you, I am here to support you. I use modalities like ACT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Parts-work, and Somatic Therapy in my therapeutic work.

What you can expect from me

I genuinely love to help others and meet them where they are at. During our first session, we will talk about what brought you to seek therapy. I will ask basic questions about your background and history at a pace that feels right for you. We will both share insights on what feels most important to work on in therapy. I will highlight our collaborative plan on how we want to move forward in therapy.
