Great to meet you!

“Warm, practical, and empowering therapy to help you move beyond anxiety and into lasting change.”

My approach to therapy

I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to help you create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, and feeling stuck, and focus on strategies you can begin using right away to feel more grounded and in control.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. We’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you in — what’s been feeling challenging, and what you’re hoping will be different in your life.

I’ll ask some questions to get a better sense of your experiences, patterns, and goals, but there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. You can go at your own pace.
