If you've found yourself struggling, questioning your direction, or wanting to grow, I can be here to hold a safe space to support you. I enjoy working with those experiencing anxiety, disordered eating & body image concerns, grief & loss, and physical health diagnoses such as cancer. I also work with those hoping to build their self-esteem, and those who are looking to improve their interpersonal relationships. My clients want to learn more about themselves and how they interact with the world. They have a desire to become an even better version of who they already are, not just for those closest to them, but also for themselves.
I'm a person-centered therapist, meaning I'm very client-driven. I have a process-oriented style which works well with those wanting to develop a deeper understanding of their experiences. I'm driven by my values of authenticity, compassion, and trust. I'm known to be gentle though can be direct when needed. I hope to always show a curiosity for my clients.
You deserve to have someone you can talk to about your struggles, fears, thoughts, and feelings. If you need someone to listen and think that we could be a good match, feel free to reach out today!

I practice from a person-centered and relational therapy approach. My style is more process oriented than skills oriented, and I do best with those wanting longer-term therapy rather than solution-oriented and/or brief therapy. I often draw from ACT, CBT, and DBT when these skills and tools seem beneficial to you and your situation.
