In our work together, I show up as my full self, not just as a therapist, but as a human. You don’t have to hide any parts of yourself here; every piece of you is welcome.
I believe you already have the capacity for growth and change within you. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about uncovering your strengths, making sense of what feels stuck, and finding new ways forward that actually work for you. My goal is to make therapy feel meaningful, practical, and grounded in your real life. I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, body image, perfectionism, and self-doubt...
The kinds of challenges that can make it hard to feel confident or settled in who you are. Many of my clients are teens through adults trying to navigate big changes, shifting identities, and the messy middle seasons of life. I also work with kids as young as four, using play, art, and creativity to help them express what words can’t always capture.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” therapy. Instead, we’ll figure out what works best for you. More than anything, I want you to know that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. You just have to show up as you are. I’ll meet you there.
