I specialize in helping adults and young adults navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, financial stress, life transitions, and identity shifts-all while appearing high-functioning to the outside world. My clients often come to me feeling exhausted from carrying it all-managing careers, caregiving, personal goals, or major transitions- while silently wrestling with self-doubt, performance pressure, or a sense of disconnection and the impact of financial stress. My goal is to help clients build self-awareness, develop coping tools, and create a more aligned, fulfilling life.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and grounded in helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I primarily use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Brief Strategic Focused Therapy (BSFT), and expanding experience in Financial Therapy.
Clients often tell me they feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for in our sessions. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a calm presence to the work, while also gently challenging patterns that may be holding you back.I believe that therapy goals should be flexible, client-led, and focused on building both insight and practical skills.

Early in our work, we explore your values, challenges, and desired outcomes to clarify what you want to change or improve. I approach goal setting as a collaborative process, grounded in what feels meaningful and realistic for you. Together, we break down larger goals into manageable steps, revisiting and adjusting them over time as your needs evolve.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
