I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety and / or depression. We can't control what happens much of the time but can learn to navigate it.

I have a deep understanding and extensive clinical experience working with people who have been impacted by cancer or other life-altering medical diagnoses or situations. I believe therapy should be a collaborative space built on compassion and curiosity.

Therapist

Growth isn't about having all the answers. It's about having a place to explore the questions. Therapy can help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change.

For the past 13 years, I've helped high-achieving adults manage anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, identity questions, and life transitions with greater confidence and clarity. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ and multicultural communities.

My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you using evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs.
