Great to meet you!

For the last 14 years, I've had the priviledge of helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, major life transitions, relationship challenges, caregiving stress, and the emotional impact of health concerns. I understand how heavy life can feel when you're overwhelmed, facing change, or simply trying to feel like yourself again. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to create more balance and confidence in your daily life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered, supportive, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We’ll focus on your unique needs, strengths, and goals while exploring patterns that may be contributing to stress or difficult emotions. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills, strengthen boundaries, and find strategies you can actually use outside of therapy to create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance for me to understand what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to feel different. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re currently facing, and the goals that matter most to you. You don’t need to have everything figured out—I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll begin creating a path forward that feels realistic and supportive.
