I believe everyone deserves compassionate, inclusive mental health care, no matter their story. You don’t need to “have it all together” here, just come as you are, whether that’s with a smile, a sigh, or both. My approach is professional yet human, creating space for open conversation, practical strategies you can actually use, and a little humor when it helps. Because sometimes, a good laugh can be just as healing as a good insight. Together, we’ll navigate challenges, build resilience, and work toward growth and healing that feels meaningful to you.
I support teens, adults, couples, and individuals involved in the justice system as they work through mental health and substance use challenges. I draw from evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT, while keeping treatment flexible, eclectic, and holistic—tailored to meet you exactly where you are in your journey.
I know taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make the process as easy and welcoming as possible. Whether you reach out by phone or email, I’m here to answer your questions and guide you through each step. Together, we can make starting therapy feel less intimidating and a lot more supportive.

I use a range of evidence-based methods, including CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and more, while also believing that humor and lightness can play an important role in healing. I'll ask the tough questions, but you may also hear a joke or a pop culture reference along the way because growth doesn't have to feel heavy all the time.
