Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or the challenges of being neurodivergent, I’m here to help. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about rediscovering your strength, setting boundaries without guilt, and creating a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

I offer compassionate support for LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and those who have felt misunderstood in traditional therapy. With flexible telehealth options, you can access therapy from wherever feels most comfortable, making it easier to prioritize your mental health.

With over a decade of experience helping people navigate stress, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm, I understand that healing looks different for everyone. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to do it alone—we’re here to support you every step of the way.

I like to collaborate with the client to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected so by changing negative thoughts, we can change our emotions and actions. I use client's strengths to help build more confidence. My hope is that you leave each session feeling empowered and more insightful.
