Life can be challenging, and it’s not always easy to navigate those challenges alone. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply looking for tools to live a more fulfilling life, therapy can be a space to explore, grow, and heal. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the knowledge that you are the expert in you. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, clarify your values and strengths, and work toward meaningful change. I draw from evidence-based practices, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and mindfulness techniques.
I specialize in helping people navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. I also have a special interest in working with people who want support in understanding their neurodivergency, including ADHD and autism.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s one worth taking. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings while building self-awareness, resilience, and working towards the life you want.

I tend to lean into a Narrative lense when working with clients - exploring the stories that have developed and strengthened over time, as well as those stories that didn't make it into your narrative. I also rely heavily on an acceptance and commitement lense, focused on developing an awareness of thoughts and feelings as distinct from self.
