Great to meet you!

I put my clients’ best interests at the center of our work. I take time to truly listen so you feel heard, respected, and supported, and I focus on adding real value to each session—not just talking in circles. With extensive training and multiple certifications, I’m able to connect with people from many different backgrounds and meet you exactly where you are.

My approach to therapy

I use an eclectic approach, which means I pull from several evidence-based therapies to fit your unique needs, whether you’re looking for short‐term support or longer‐term growth. Depending on what’s most helpful for you, I may use solution‐focused strategies, a client‐centered style, and often cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand and shift unhelpful patterns.

What you can expect from me

In our work together, you can expect unconditional positive regard, active listening, and a space that feels empowering, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I also provide clear psychoeducation so you understand what we’re doing and why. If you’re ready to take a next step toward feeling better, I’d be honored to support you—reach out to schedule a session.
