I learned the importance of authentically meeting people where they're at, expressing emotions, and celebrating any win (no matter how small!) after working at a day treatment center with kids who have autism diagnoses. I like to consider a person in context of their surroundings, and I value a collaborative approach to therapy. Lately, I've been working with eating disorder diagnoses and adolescents, as well as sports teams and athletes, but I am always open to working with any age at any stage of growth!
I take an authentic, direct approach to help clients challenge mental health issues like anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and eating disorders in a safe, casual space. Together we’ll explore a holistic approach to managing mental health, whether you deal with persistent mental illness or nerves before a big game.
I started as a therapy skeptic when a high school sports injury landed me in therapy at 16. Little did I know, it would spark a career! I am passionate about supporting and helping clients through all phases of healing, and would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

I started my own journey with therapy as a skeptical teenager, determined that talking about my feelings wouldn't make a difference with my academic and athletic performance! As an adult, I'm very grateful for starting therapy at a young age, and I love to share what I've learned.

Lately I've been finding a lot of joy in helping children and adolescents tackle sports, body image, and academic challenges in creative ways. I tend to use a more direct approach to work on things in session that can translate into change and growth outside of the therapy space. You can expect to be supported as you are pushed outside of your comfort zone.

I use a warm authentic connection to create a space that allows the client to safely explore and experience their feelings. I like to combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, psychosomatic work and narrative therapy with a family systems approach.
