Great to meet you!

I help adults who feel overwhelmed by life's challenges find clarity, emotional stability, and practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change. I have 9+ years of experience working with individuals facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is entirely about getting comfortable and ensuring we're a good match. We'll start with a casual conversation about what brought you to therapy and what you're hoping to get out of it. Share what you feel ready to share. By the end of our session, we'll have a roadmap for our work together and a clear idea of what your goals look like. My goal with you is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel understood and empowered.
