Accepting new clients beginning June 2026! I specialize in working with college-age individuals and young adults with a focus on anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and perinatal/postpartum mental health. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you while building confidence and tools to navigate life’s challenges. I believe connection and authenticity are vital to the therapy process, and my goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood while showing up exactly as you are.
I use a strength-based, individualized approach to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. My work draws on a combination of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, to provide practical tools and support for lasting change.
No matter who you are, where you come from, or how you’re doing in this moment, I believe every person can benefit from having a safe space where they can be unapologetically themselves and receive unconditional support. In a world of constant pressure and comparison, everyone should have someone in their corner, and it would be a privilege to be in yours.
