Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients ages 12+. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and understand the importance of every individual being comfortable and feeling safe in our space. I am deeply invested in my clients’ well-being and am a passionate advocate for their growth and healing. Together, we will develop a unique plan best suited to your needs and help support you through day to day challenges.
Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship stress, we’ll work together to build a personalized plan that honors your unique story and goals. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques, always tailored to meet you exactly where you are.
I genuinely enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. I believe therapy should feel empowering—not intimidating. My style is collaborative, authentic, and hopeful. Let’s figure it out together. You don’t have to do this alone.
