It can be difficult to find a therapist you feel you can trust. I strive to make every person feel heard, understood, and respected. You are the expert on yourself. It is my role to listen and help you find your own answers. We will work together to develop the therapeutic skills necessary to propel you forward. I also seek to focus on strengths and positive psychology including using humor, incorporating your spiritual beliefs if desired, encouraging your talents, and strengthening your support network. I love teaching mindfulness practices and CBT skills!

I know reaching out for therapy isn’t easy. It takes courage to even start looking for support. If you’ve been through painful or overwhelming experiences, you may be used to keeping things inside or trying to “handle it” on your own. My goal is to offer a space where you don’t have to do that anymore—a space that feels safe, steady, and genuinely supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating eating disorders (18+), grief, ADHD, anxiety, or just feeling disconnected from yourself, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

If you’re here, you’ve made the decision to find help, and I am so proud of you! Depression and anxiety don’t have to define your life. Substance use doesn’t have to control you. Stress doesn’t have to hold you back. Deciding to go to therapy can be overwhelming, and sometimes, it quite frankly feels weird! When you sit on my couch you’ll feel compassion, openness and honesty. We’ll talk about the future that you want, and together we’ll work to move towards change at your own pace. That might mean freedom, peace, joy, purpose, or just a day without feeling like you need another cup of coffee to make it through.
