Accepting new clients. Life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re finishing college, finding your footing in adulthood, or facing the realization that things aren’t unfolding the way you hoped. Maybe work feels draining, relationships are unraveling, or you’ve found yourself relying on alcohol, food, substances, or self-harm to cope. Others shut down through depression or constant anxiety. When these strategies stop helping, support matters. Reaching out is a meaningful first step, and choosing to care for your mental health takes real courage.
I use practical, evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll find new ways to respond to what’s feeling stuck so life feels more manageable. A strong, respectful, and collaborative relationship is at the heart of our work.
You know your life and your experiences better than anyone. My role is to listen, understand, and help put words to what can feel hard to express. I offer a safe, welcoming space where you can show up fully. The connection we build together can open the door to healing and meaningful growth. Reach out to get started

My education was grounded in Person-In-Environment (PIE) theory. Giving me a holistic framework to understand how best to serve clients. It is from this view that I use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to address a client's specific issues. For me, the key to a successful working relationship between therapist and client is mutual understanding.
