Hi! I am happy you're here.I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not an interrogation. I strive to create a warm, down-to-earth, and supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges. I primarily work with young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and am passionate about supporting clients in exploring identity, self-acceptance, and meaningful connection.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and solution-focused, meaning sessions are guided by your goals, strengths, and values. Together, we’ll develop practical coping skills and strategies to help you manage symptoms, gain clarity, and feel more in control of your life.
All sessions are currently offered through secure telehealth, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort of your own home. If you’re seeking online therapy in a supportive, collaborative environment, I’d be glad to connect!
