Great to meet you!

I started this work because I wanted to build something of my own, a practice where I can really show up for the people I see. I understand what it's like to feel overworked, and I know how much a steady, caring relationship with a provider can change someone's day to day life. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of trauma, and I like to create a space where you feel heard from the very first conversation. My goal is simple, to help you feel more like yourself again, one session at a time.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm and collaborative. I want you to feel like an active partner in your own care, not just someone receiving instructions. We will set goals together, check in often, and adjust as we go. Progress happens when you feel supported and empowered to make choices that fit your life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, expect a relaxed conversation. I will ask about what brought you in, your goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. There is no pressure to share everything right away. By the end, we will have a plan together for how to move forward.
