Hi! My approach to therapy is to welcome all of you—your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, behaviors, urges, dreams, and hopes—with compassion and nonjudgmental empathy.
You might feel stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or needing control. Maybe self-criticism, anxious thoughts, or shame weigh you down. Or perhaps struggles with eating, body image, or emotional avoidance have left you disconnected.
If you’re seeking deep, lasting change—one that transforms how you relate to yourself, others, and the world—you’re in the right place.

I provide online therapy for young adult women who are feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many of the women I work with are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling with stress, self-doubt, or relationship challenges. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what’s weighing on you, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive, grounded way.

The best part about being a therapist is guiding clients in understanding what has informed and shaped them to date and how they can design a future that will meet their needs and confront obstacles along the way. I enjoy helping clients to explore ideas previously overlooked and to discover strengths they did not know they possessed. The first and most important task of any therapist is to listen thoroughly to all aspects of a client's presentation, to engage with the client with curiosity and interest, and to elicit from the client all the feelings and thoughts that come to bear in shaping their world.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I take a person-centered, solution-focused approach to therapy, tailoring our work based on what resonates best with you. This style is especially helpful for individuals who come in with a growth mindset and are open to exploring where they feel stuck. Together, we’ll identify the patterns, stressors, or barriers that may be getting in the way of your progress. I’ll also ask about any previous experiences you’ve had in therapy so I can understand what has (or hasn’t) been helpful. My goal is to ensure that every session feels meaningful and productive for you.
