My ideal client is an individual who realizes they are navigating a season of change and everything feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety shows up as constant overthinking or tight chest that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve been feeling low, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. You may be juggling a career, relationships, and caring for others while quietly wondering, “What about me?” Whether you’re adjusting to a new role, grieving an old one, or simply feeling lost in the in-between, you don’t have to do it alone.
My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual’s needs, fostering a safe space for healing and personal growth. I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based, and person-centered therapy, to help clients navigate emotional challenges and build resilience.
If you’re seeking a supportive and understanding space to work through your journey, I am here to help. It is my goal for you to feel comfortable in the therapeutic environment and feel safe to express yourself. Together we will create goals that feel manageable for you to support change.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I often pull from a variety of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Through these evidence based practices we will explore and look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences.
