Life can throw us some serious curveballs! Whether you're wrestling with the daily grind, navigating tricky relationships, or just feeling a bit lost, I'm here to help you unpack it all. Therapy isn't just about deep dives into emotions (although we'll definitely do that); it's also about finding moments to figure out who you really are beneath all the layers and discovering new perspectives. Together, we'll navigate the twists and turns of your journey— because let's be honest, none of us have a map for this wild ride. I utilize the following approaches: person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused.
It all starts with a space where you can be your authentic self; where it's okay not to have all the answers. I bring genuine empathy and a sprinkle of humor to our sessions because I believe healing often begins with a shared smile or a good laugh. Life is hard, let's talk about it!
I have a history working with the LGBTQIA+ community, couples, families, and individuals with personal conflicts and diverse mental health concerns. If you're considering scheduling a session, please get in touch to explore if we're a good fit for therapy together (please go to the website link to enter your information).

I specialize in person-centered therapy, empowering individuals to take charge of their growth and healing journey. Drawing from cognitive behavioral theory, I assist clients in identifying and modifying patterns of thinking and behavior that hinder their well-being. Additionally, psycho-dynamic theory informs our exploration of unconscious processes and their influence on present experiences.
