I work with people who are ready for change but aren’t sure where to start. They may feel stuck in anxiety, burnout, mood challenges, or major life transitions. They want a therapist who helps them feel grounded, confident, and understood. We work together to gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful changes that help you thrive. I use an integrative mix of therapies, incorporating humor, positive psychology, and a focus on hope.
With experience in community health centers, psychiatric hospitals, schools, college counseling, and private practice, I bring both clinical depth and compassion to my work. My approach is collaborative and strength-based: honoring what's going well while addressing areas that need support, balance, and meaningful change.
If you’re looking for a supportive space to sort through what’s happening in your life, I’d be happy to connect. Reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation. We can explore whether we’re a good fit and how I can best support your goals.
