Accepting new clients! As a provider, I strive to diversify each therapeutic relationship based on your unique needs and experiences. My approach centers on helping you build coping skills, recognize strengths, and promote meaningful behavioral change that aligns with your personal values and goals. Whether you are a patient or provider, I offer support to help you navigate and make sense of your experiences in the healthcare system. Together, we can address challenges, process life’s difficulties, and create a safe, judgment-free space that encourages openness, transparency, and genuine growth both in and outside of therapy.

Teens (13 or older), adults, and older adults are all welcome here for individual or group therapy. I offer a space where every part of your experience matters. My areas of focus include anxiety, panic, depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, adjustment, grief, stress, healthcare provider burnout and related concerns.

Facing challenges alone can feel overwhelming. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone, including LGBTQIA+ and diverse communities. Together, we’ll explore your strengths to help improve your quality of life. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey. For the quickest response, please reach out by email.
