My therapy style is highly relational, collaborative, and humanistic. Operating from a holistic lens, I consider each client as their own unique individual within the context of their environment. Central to my therapeutic style is my emphasis on the working relationship; I take the time to get to know each client outside of their "presenting problem" and have a natural inclination to see their inherent strengths. With my lived experience as an NCAA collegiate athlete, I can provide meaningful empathy and understanding to a student-athlete's experience.

Therapy can be beneficial for dealing with the challenges of life; both the ongoing and the sudden. You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied; maybe you have stubborn patterns, or you want to get to know yourself a little more. I will work with you where you are at, using various approaches from CBT, Mindfulness, Existentialism and traditional psychotherapeutic methods. Sometimes, we will laugh or cry; some sessions will feel supportive, and others, frank and challenging. I encourage you to bring your whole self to the sessions, ask whatever you want, and risk going to uncomfortable places.

You’re great at everything- except love, apparently. You’ve built a life you’re proud of. You’re successful, emotionally intelligent, and the go-to person for your friends when they need insight. And yet, when it comes to romantic relationships, it’s like you keep tripping over the same patterns: urgency, self-doubt, mixed signals, chaos. No matter how hard you try, the same fears show up: "Am I too much?" "Not enough?" "Am I ever really going to feel secure with someone?" You’re probably starting to believe that love just isn’t for you. But something in you isn’t giving up.

Therapy is for everyone—because everyone deserves a space to be heard, understood, and supported. I believe that you don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy.

My mission is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
I understand that no two individuals are the same, and I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your unique needs.
