I support young adults and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, academic and workplace stress, and major life transitions. I'm here to help you move beyond feeling stuck and step into the life you truly want to live. I create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can show up as your authentic self, deeply explore your inner experience, strengthen your resilience, and take meaningful steps toward healing and a richer, more vibrant life.
My approach primarily draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). With that said, everyone's needs and goals are unique! I remain flexible and individually tailor our work together, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches so that your therapy journey feels like a true fit for you.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the core of my practice. I show up as a human in the room with you, and am an active ally, advocate, and teammate throughout your therapy journey. If you feel we might be a good fit, please send me an email to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
