Asking for help can feel daunting. Maybe something specific brought you here—a major life transition, grief, persistent anxiety, low mood, or a sense of feeling “stuck.” Whatever your reason, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reaching out for support is a meaningful act of courage and vulnerability—and often the first step toward lasting change.

I believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, tailored to your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while also integrating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and family systems perspectives. Together, we may work to challenge unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, clarify values, and strengthen emotional awareness—always at a pace that feels right for you.

I view therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to provide guidance, tools, and a supportive space where growth feels possible. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and safe to show up as their authentic selves.

I’m passionate about working with young adults and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, and life transitions. What I love most about this work is witnessing clients gain insight, confidence, and a deeper sense of self-trust as they move toward lives that feel more balanced and aligned with their values.
