Thinking about therapy? Beginning therapy can feel both hopeful and intimidating, and I want to honor the courage it takes to take that first step. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. I believe healing happens through genuine connection and trust, and I strive to create an environment where you feel supported, accepted, and empowered to grow. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. In addition, I incorporate SandTray Therapy, offering a creative and experiential way to explore emotions and experiences using figurines.
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, I aim to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward healing and meaningful change.
