Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm glad you're here! Experiencing my own major life transitions inspired me to pursue a career helping others navigate theirs. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and validating space where you can slow down, process life's challenges, and make sense of the changes you're facing. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something different, you don't have to figure it out alone.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should meet you where you are. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychoeducation, I'll help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll build practical tools, reframe life's challenges into manageable steps, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is all about getting to know one another. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, explore your personal and family history, discuss your goals, and begin creating a plan that feels right for you. My priority is building trust and helping you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in the work we'll do together.
