Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on taking the first one and want you to know I’m here to make the process meaningful and supportive. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, depression, identity-related questions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. You're welcome here exactly as you are.
I work with adults who are navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or challenges related to identity and life transitions. Many of my clients are outwardly successful and intelligent, yet feel privately exhausted, stuck, or disconnected. That’s okay. My practice is affirming, inclusive, and welcoming to people of all backgrounds and identities.
I’ve been told I’m down-to-earth, warm, direct, and quick-thinking when it comes to my work. I genuinely enjoy exploring the deeper questions of our existence. In sessions, I listen deeply, reflect honestly, and offer feedback that is both thoughtful and respectful. I use humor when it helps, patience when it’s needed, and always meet you where you are.

My approach is a balance of insight and action. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT & DBT-informed therapy with space for deeper exploration. Each session is both expansive & practical. I believe language can both heal and harm. But above all else, it's the human connection that heals.

I work with adults of all ages (18 and above) who are navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or challenges related to identity and life transitions. Many of my clients are outwardly successful and intelligent, yet feel privately exhausted, stuck, or disconnected. I work well with seekers, deep thinkers, and those who have ever felt "too much" or "not enough."

I've been told I'm down-to-earth, warm, direct, and quick-thinking when it comes to my work. In sessions, I listen deeply, reflect honestly, and offer feedback that is both thoughtful and respectful. Clients often tell me that I "get it" and that our conversations feel real, not like a performance. You can expect transparency, empathy, and no pressure to have everything figured out.
