Now accepting new clients! It takes courage to seek out support, and I would be honored to assist you on your journey towards healing. I specialize in supporting people in navigating life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional stressors. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients understand their patterns, build on their strengths, and develop practical tools for meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in respect. I provide a safe space to explore your identity, relationships, and goals.
I take a relational approach that honors the unique experiences and needs of each person. My specialties include anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, relational issues, grief, aging, and health.
I am passionate about my work and am honored for the ability to support people in making meaningful changes in their lives.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients navigate emotional challenges in a way that feels right for them. Whether you prefer a structured, goal-oriented approach or need a slower, more supportive pace, I tailor our work to meet your unique needs. Together, we explore thoughts and patterns that may be contributing to issues such as stress, anxiety, or depression.
