You deserve to be heard & I’m here to truly listen. Tell me everything! Reaching out for support can take tremendous courage & I admire the energy it takes to make that first step. Life’s challenges can feel consuming, & it’s easy to let those struggles hinder growth. To support you in your journey of growth, I'll often pull from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), integrating mindfulness practices to promote self-awareness & emotional regulation. I enjoy incorporating skill-building exercises, meditation, & daily tools you can use outside the therapy room to support continued healing & growth.
I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, & all adults who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-harm, trauma, stress, relationships, focus, life transitions, & more. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a safe space to process, I’m here to support, motivate, & empower change!
My approach is warm, empathetic, and often sprinkled with humor. I aim to create a safe, low-light, & cozy environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your life without judgment. If you or someone you care about is struggling, I invite you to reach out! I’m here to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward healing and transformation!
