Using approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor our work to help you gain clarity, develop coping tools, and move forward with greater confidence.
I work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps—often during life transitions or while navigating self-esteem and relationship challenges. Many come in feeling disconnected from their confidence or struggling to make decisions that align with who they want to be. In our work together, we focus on building clarity, strengthening self-trust, and developing practical tools to help you move forward with confidence and intention.

Individuals seek out therapy with me for reasons ranging from panic attacks and existential dread, life transitions, disordered eating and identity exploration. In relationship/couples therapy, I help folks get unstuck from entrenched patterns, like trading blame or feeling unappreciated and misunderstood. Couples sometimes seek therapy with me to address co-parenting challenges, to explore questions around identity and sexuality, and to get help making big decisions. Sometimes folks aren't sure what they want, but they know their relationship isn't going the way either party hoped. Other times the goal is simply to stop fighting.

Whether you are coping with trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, life transition, relationship or marital issues, we can work together to make things better. I bring to the table a deep knowledge of a diverse set of treatment methods that allow me to tailor your therapy uniquely to your personality, challenges and life.
