You long to wake up in the morning less anxious and depressed. Or you're feeling stressed-out, stuck or have conflict in your closest relationships. Maybe pain from infidelity consumes you but you still want to try to fix what seems broken. Deep down, you want to feel excited about your life and I want that for you too. I can help you untangle the knotted threads of your life and create something beautiful. If you've tried therapy before but felt something was missing (maybe too much listening and not enough direction and interventions), let's do it differently this time so you have the knowledge & skills to create your best life.

I enjoy working with college students of from all backgrounds, but my main areas of focus are: Student Athletes-It's hard to balance academics and a personal life while being a college athlete.

I offer flexible scheduling when you are in season. I have worked with athletes from many sports and often find that depression and anxiety can be heightened when managing a demanding practice and game schedule. I'll help you get the support you need and deserve.

Beginning your therapy journey can make you feel vulnerable and exposed which is why I believe finding a therapist you can truly connect with is crucial to your well-being and growth, just like other relationships in our lives. We all have individual strengths, challenges, cultures, and experiences that have formed our multifaceted identities. These dynamics influence how we interact with ourselves and others in our daily lives and continue to shape us throughout life transitions.
