Great to meet you!

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of helping people of all walks of life-college students, LGBTQ+, people in transitional phases of life, those struggling with sex/sexuality concerns-navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strengths.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the power to rewrite their own story. Sometimes, we just need a little help finding the right words. I use a blend of solution-focused and strengths-based approaches, as well as narrative therapy, to help clients take control of their life stories. Together, we’ll explore the unhelpful narratives that may have taken root and work to create a version of your story that empowers you.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is a partnership built on trust, compassion, and yes—a healthy dose of humor. Life can be tough, but I believe there’s always room for lightness and connection, even in the most challenging moments. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for a change, I’m here to support you. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths, redefine what’s possible, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
