Great to meet you!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my page. I mostly help clients navigate life transitions, infidelity recovery, stress/anger management, and relationship challenges. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps, I would love to provide a supportive, direct, and compassionate space to heal and grow. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, or managing anxiety, I can help you develop clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns and create lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I use a lot of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to help with reframing thought patterns that may be holding you back. I also explore your past to help understand the root of your issues. We won’t delve into areas you’re not ready for. I hope that, as we build trust, your comfort with vulnerability grows, so together we can face those challenges.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a balance of direct guidance and compassionate support. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process your emotions while also gaining practical tools and solutions. Which means, yes! I do give homework most of the time haha! But this is only to make sure you practice applying anything you learn in session. No matter what we are working through, I’ll help you build clarity, confidence, and healthier coping strategies. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and equipped to take meaningful steps forward.
