Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’ve been carrying stress, grief, trauma, or relationship pain on your own for a long time. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s weighing on you, better understand your thoughts and emotions, and begin building tools that help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, infidelity, domestic abuse, prolonged grief, PTSD, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll focus on helping you heal, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I see therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, honesty, and respect. No two people have the same story, so I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, goals, and pace rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping them stuck. I also draw from Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and strengths-based approaches to support growth in a way that feels practical and personalized. With more than 20 years of experience in community mental health, inpatient settings, and private practice, I help clients build insight, resilience, healthier coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self as they work through life’s challenges.

I understand that opening up to someone new can feel uncomfortable at first, so I focus on creating an environment where you can ease into the process and feel supported from the beginning. In our early sessions, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re currently facing, and what you hope will feel different in your life as a result of our work together. I’ll also ask about important parts of your background, relationships, and experiences so I can better understand the full picture and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. You do not need to have all the right words or share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, respected, and reassured that you do not have to navigate this alone.
