I work with adults facing a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity struggles. My ideal client is someone ready to explore their emotions, gain insight into their experiences, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change in their life. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to listen and support you.
I specialize in providing a person-centered approach that is flexible and integrative. This means I draw from a range of therapeutic tools, from talk therapy and mindfulness to dialectical behavioral techniques, to tailor our work to best suit your needs and goals.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to begin, I understand how challenging that can be. My approach combines empathy with a lighthearted perspective to make tough topics feel a little more manageable. I’d love to support you in discovering your path and realizing your goals—reach out today, and let’s start the conversation.
