Are you feeling stressed, anxious, burnt out, or just unsure of where you’re supposed to be in your life right now? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to go through it on your own. I can help. I work with clients who are ready to make changes but may not know where to start. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start building the tools you need to succeed in your personal goals. Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s getting in your way and finding a clearer, more confident path forward.
My approach is authentic, strength-based, and person-centered, integrating techniques from CBT, DBT, IFS, and mindfulness to fit your unique needs — because there’s no “one size fits all” in therapy. I often bring humor and warmth into sessions, helping you reconnect with hope and even moments of joy along the way.
I work with mental health professionals, educators, healthcare workers, and first responders to manage secondary trauma, burnout, and workplace stress. I also support students and parents navigating academic pressures, transitions, and family challenges. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and like yourself again, I’m here to help.
