Great to meet you!

If anxiety follows you everywhere you go, or you're in the middle of a life change that's harder than you expected, you don't have to carry it alone. Maybe you're questioning who you are, navigating relationships, or just exhausted by the weight of it all.

I've spent the last 10 years working in settings most therapists haven't: inpatient hospitals, mobile crisis units, and outpatient clinics. I've sat with people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, and that experience shapes how I show up. I meet you where you are, without judgment.

I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to a space where you feel genuinely seen, whatever you're bringing in.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is collaborative and practical. I draw on CBT to help you notice patterns keeping you stuck, ACT to help you build a different relationship with difficult emotions rather than fighting them, and SFBT to focus on what's already working in your life. I also use mindfulness and motivational interviewing, depending on what feels most useful. We move at your pace.

What you can expect from me

The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We'll talk through what brought you in and what you're hoping for, and I'll ask some questions to get a fuller picture. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. Most people leave feeling a little lighter just from having finally said things out loud!
