If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, tired, or unhappy in your life, you're certainly not alone. Most people struggle with these issues at some point in their lives, and it can be difficult to know the next step to take or how to make lasting change. I'm here to offer you a compassionate, supportive, judgment-free space to explore your challenges and find solutions that will work for you. Whether this is your first time considering therapy, or have seen other therapists in the past, I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to understand the root of the problem and find skills, resources, and tools to help you feel better.
I prioritize genuinely understanding you and your unique circumstances to help cultivate self-compassion, challenge unhelpful thoughts/beliefs, and feel more confident. I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, grief, and more. Reaching out can be intimidating, but I'm here to make the process as simple as possible!
Unsure if I can help you or we would be a good fit? Feel free to ask about my professional experience, therapy in general, or the logistics of getting started and I'll do my best to answer your questions and address your concerns. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your mental wellness journey. Let's talk soon!
