Great to meet you!

Nice to Meet You! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of The Happy Byrd, a practice dedicated to supporting creatives and entertainment professionals. As a former child actor, I became passionate about advocating for the emotional well-being of people working in creative industries. With nearly a decade of experience I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and professionals navigating the pressures of performance, identity, and public-facing careers.

My approach to therapy

My approach is solution-focused and grounded in practical behavioral strategies that help clients build resilience and create sustainable balance in both their work and personal lives.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we’ll take time to connect in a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can share what’s been weighing on you and what brings you to therapy. Together, we’ll begin identifying the goals you’d like to work toward and outline a collaborative path forward.
