If your schedule is packed or you’d rather not add a commute, online therapy can make getting support feel more realistic. I work with adults who are used to pushing through, balancing work, responsibilities, and expectations, while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly in their own head. You might look like you have it together, but inside feel stressed, disconnected, or unsure how to break out of the same patterns. Therapy can be a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s been building, and start moving in a different direction.
I help clients work through anxiety, burnout, ADHD challenges, anger, and the impact of difficult experiences. We focus on understanding patterns and building practical ways to respond differently, so you’re not pulled back into the same cycles. I tend to be direct, collaborative, and focused on what will actually help in real life situations.
I've worked with folks from many backgrounds and life stories. I like hearing what makes you "you," and what would make your life better. I hope you check out our practice's website and consider if therapy with me might be helpful. I look forward to getting to know you!

I'm in network with several insurances, but we also accept FSA and HSA cards. We process most out-of-network insurances as well, so you don't have to deal with insurance. Feel free to email us if you have any questions!

I approach therapy primarily from a "Person-Centered" lens, meaning that what my client brings comes first. It allows me to ask open-ended questions and point out parts of your story in a way that moves you forward in your own process. I'm also trained in Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy, which are very practical approaches and help to bring on the change you are looking for.
