What qualities are you looking for in a therapist?
Perhaps someone who is compassionate and non-judgmental…
Someone who truly listens, cares about your goals, and works with you to achieve them; Someone who brings creativity and energy to each session, making therapy both engaging and meaningful; Someone who understands that not every therapist is the right fit for every person; And someone who’s committed to putting in the work.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, then we might be a great fit.

I work with adults navigating substance use, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, major life transitions, and school/work-related stressors.
My approach balances practical, skills-based support (the “what” and “how”) with space for reflection and understanding (the “why”). I focus on how your ideas and stories shape your perspective, help you find ways to strengthen your sense of agency, and encourage an active role in the process of meaning-making. I believe our experiences are best understood within the context of our relationships, environment, and the systems we navigate every day.

Do you feel like your past experiences are negatively affecting your present? Or often think you are "not good enough"? This negative belief can stem from hurtful messages from our family, peers, authority figures, and others. It may be difficult to imagine thinking differently. We can work together to help you emotionally process painful experiences and put them into a more self-compassionate perspective, develop your confidence and coping skills, increase feelings of peace and calm, and create more space in your life for what is most meaningful to you. It is possible to find relief with therapeutic support.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, and you might find yourself in a constant battle with your emotions. The struggle to determine whether you're in control or if your emotions are controlling you can be incredibly challenging. Feelings of uncertainty and the weight of "what if" questions can become a heavy burden, leading to emotions like hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, or irritability. It's not uncommon to feel lost in these moments. Perhaps you've noticed that unhealthy behaviors and old patterns have become all too familiar. Please know that you're not alone in these experiences.

I understand that difficulty and strive to greet you with the warmth, empathy, and acceptance that you deserve. Working with and supporting people is at the heart of who I am and what I do, and I believe that an authentic relationship is essential for successful outcomes.

At the end of the day, relationships matter & I believe they are at the core of our success. How we interact with one another in every setting & how we treat ourselves is crucial to navigating through life. When we love ourselves, we are able to think positively, create & reach goals, take responsibility, understand things we can & cannot control, treat ourselves with compassion & have confidence. When one of these relationships if lacking or does not exist, we are suseptible to a plethora of mental health & life struggles.

Ever feel like you’re expected to have all the answers, but you’re still trying to figure out the questions? Whether you’re a teen navigating the chaos of high school, a young adult "adulting" for the first time, or an adult looking for a fresh perspective—I’m here to help you navigate the map.
