Great to meet you!

I’ve always been drawn to helping others and knew early on that I wanted to become a therapist. I enjoy listening and feel inspired by people who are motivated to grow and improve their lives. My experience includes case management, leading groups in an inpatient mental health setting, and several years providing one-on-one therapy in both school and clinical settings. These roles have given me a broad perspective on the challenges people face. My true passion is working one-on-one with individuals, supporting their growth and helping them create meaningful and lasting change. I’ve trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic approaches, and work related to relationships and parenting.

My approach to therapy

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. My intake process is collaborative, focusing on your concerns, history, past therapy experiences, and what you’d like to work on. I see progress as continuing to show up, staying open, and moving forward even through setbacks. I especially enjoy working with young adults as they navigate growth and life transitions.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect their first session to be a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where we begin getting to know one another. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, your personal history, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process.

My goal in the first session is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood while gaining a clear picture of your needs and strengths. Together, we'll begin identifying goals that feel meaningful and achievable, and we'll explore how therapy can best support you moving forward.

I strive to create an environment that is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, so you can feel safe exploring your experiences at your own pace.
