Are you looking for a compassionate partner on your path to growth? I offer empathetic, nonjudgmental support to help you navigate challenges and create meaningful change. With a person-centered approach, sessions are tailored to your needs. Through collaborative conversation, CBT techniques, and mindfulness, you can gain clarity, build coping skills, and strengthen your sense of autonomy.

I have experience working with adults and teens who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety and bipolar disorder. With a greater self understanding and a new perspective, you can reach your goals and grow beyond your circumstances.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship where you can build self-awareness and gain a deeper understanding of your struggles. Together, we’ll develop tools and resilience to move through challenges and help you navigate life as a stronger, healthier, and happier person.
