I have always been passionate about the field of psychology, and more specifically understanding why and how people come to be the way that they are.

I aim to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported in sessions together, rather than embarrassed or shameful. I take a very empathetic approach, however, am also quite straightforward which I believe fosters a trusting and honest relationship with one another.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you work through difficult experiences, traumas, or symptoms that may be holding you back. I believe that emotional pain can lead to anxiety, shame, and self-doubt. These feelings keep us feeling stuck and inhibit vital parts of ourselves. I strive to help my clients develop more compassion and curiosity toward their experiences so they can learn new ways of coping and achieve greater satisfaction, self-confidence, and authenticity.

I practice psychotherapy with a collaborative and integrative approach by curating evidence-based practices that work in accordance with each client’s needs and styles of treatment. Primarily, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Theory, Object Relations, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I passionately work with clients to create a judgment-free space that, over time, becomes a haven for discussing intimate or traditionally taboo subjects.

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.
