I work with adults who are looking to better manage anxiety & stress or who want to improve symptoms related to depression, life transitions, ADHD, or trauma. If that's you, you're in the right place! Sessions with me are via video, so it's flexible, budget-friendly & you can attend from comfort of your own space. All identities are welcome.
My practice is focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress-Reduction Practices, so I often bring these tools into our sessions as we work towards your goals. I'm a relaxed, active, experienced therapist. I use humor and a non-judgmental approach to create a safe space for you to heal and grow.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to get started. If you would like to use insurance, please book through RULA website. I look forward to working with you!

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress-management, life-transitions or trauma. During our initial sessions, I'll invite you to talk about what brought you to therapy, make a plan together, and I'll show you some tools that can help you feel better. Talk therapy takes time but most clients see some lifting of symptoms within the first month.
