Good therapy works. But often, there are barriers between you and "good therapy"—barriers like finding a therapist that truly fits, the courage it takes to look at your life with honesty, and the effort it takes to grow and change. I'm a Psychologist who works with adults and couples, and I've had the privilege of helping people break through these barriers. I've taught university courses on counseling, worked with a diverse range of clients, and now, as a scientist at Headspace, I focus on understanding what makes mental health treatment effective. And through it all, one truth remains: good therapy works.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or stiff—and it shouldn’t. My clients often say our sessions feel more like real, meaningful conversations than formal therapy. I'm here to listen, talk things through, and help you think in new ways—without pressure or pretense. You won’t get quick-fix answers or one-size-fits-all advice. What you will get is honest insight, steady support, and space to be fully yourself. If desired, I’m also happy to integrate a Christian worldview into our conversations—I hold a Master of Divinity (MDiv) and believe faith can be a powerful part of the healing journey.

Taking the step to seek help when life gets challenging takes courage, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or feeling stuck during a major life transition, I offer a supportive space where you can feel safe to be yourself and begin your healing journey.
I believe that healing happens through safe, authentic connection—not by “fixing” you, but by helping you reconnect with your own strengths and clarity. I believe we all deserve a space where we can be seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

You find yourself stuck in the same negative cycles. You trust the wrong people and get into relationships that only leave you feeling manipulated, abused, and unsafe. They’ve taken away your power, your voice, and the weight of trauma has left you questioning your worth. You’ve tried reaching out to loved ones, connecting to your faith, and other means to address your concerns, but all those choices have failed. Your needs are not met, and you desperately desire support to make consistent, positive changes to succeed mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

Starting therapy is a brave and meaningful step, and I want to first acknowledge the courage it takes to begin this journey. One of the reasons I became a therapist is because I believe so strongly in striving to give clients "Hope" even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. My goal is to help you discover that hope within yourself and to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and the life you want to create.
