Great to meet you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, behavioral challenges, or relationship and family difficulties, you don’t have to face them alone. I offer a warm, accepting space where adolescents, adults, couples, and families can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, practical, and inclusive. I tailor therapy to your unique needs and draw from evidence-based approaches to help you build resilience and develop healthy coping skills. I’m committed to supporting LGBTQ+ clients and diverse family structures with respect, compassion, and affirmation.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll get to know one another and discuss what brings you to counseling, what has been happening in your life, and what you hope will change. We’ll explore your strengths and goals at a comfortable pace, with no pressure to share more than you’re ready to. Together, we’ll begin identifying the support that feels most helpful.
