Great to meet you!

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions—whether that includes anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, or other mental health challenges. If you're stuck in cyclical thought patterns, I'm here to help! My goal is to support you in achieving your mental health goals and to empower you to take an active role in your healing journey!

My approach to therapy

I take a client-centered approach, placing your unique needs & mental health goals at the heart of our work together. I focus on your strengths, help you explore what motivates change, & teach practical skills you can use in everyday life. Our work is collaborative and practical — building on what you already do well while learning skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and stress

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where therapy feels like a safe & welcoming space. I value open communication and will listen with care and intention, while gently supporting you in navigating uncomfortable emotions and life’s challenges.
