You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Whether you’re feeling stuck in relationship patterns, navigating anxiety, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a big life change that’s left you feeling untethered - therapy can help you find your way through it. In my practice, the first step is creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I work with individuals in their late teens through their 30s who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or like they’re constantly questioning themselves. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel truly heard without judgment.
My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and personalized. I pull from different theories, including CBT, DBT, IFS, and strengths-based therapy, so we can find what actually works for you. I’ll bring in strategies and insights that are helpful, but more than anything, I’ll show up as a real person walking beside you.
Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about reconnecting with who you are underneath the hurt. Whether you need coping skills, deeper self-understanding, or a space to untangle what’s weighing you down, I’ll meet you there with care. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more confident, and more like you, I’d be honored to support you.

In my practice, I think it's important to acknowledge that treatment modalities are not one size fits all! Everyone is unique, so as the therapist, it's important for me to have multiple tools in my belt. When deciding which therapy model to use with a client, I spend time assessing a client's emotional response and learning style before deciding which approach is going to resonate best.
