I believe therapy is a collaborative process that helps people reconnect with themselves and uncover how they want to feel — not just what they want to fix. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling untethered, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where your story matters.
My clinical background includes experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, body image issues, and mood disorders. As a therapist, I value honesty, humor, flexibility, and a whole-person approach that respects your lived experiences.
I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking not only symptom relief, but also deeper understanding and meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that no longer serve you, build practical coping tools, and set goals that align with your values and the emotional life you want to experience — joy, peace, confidence, and/or connection.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, know that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit for the next step in your healing journey.
