Struggling with relationships, navigating life changes, or managing intense emotions can feel overwhelming—but you don't have to face it alone. I specialize in couples therapy, addressing issues like conflict, infidelity, intimacy concerns, and divorce. For individuals, I provide support with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, self-harming behaviors, and self-confidence challenges. Whether you're exploring your identity, coping with transitions, or seeking clarity, therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and empowered.
I've worked with diverse groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC communities, college students, seniors, and fellow therapists. With experience in private practice, university counseling, and intensive outpatient programs, I bring a well-rounded perspective to my work.
Every client's journey is unique, and my goal is to support yours with whole-person care. Together, we'll reduce shame and guilt, clarify your diagnosis or relationship dynamics, and help you confidently navigate life's challenges. Therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and grow—helping you move toward the life and relationships you deserve.

I use a nonjudgmental approach grounded in building self-awareness and practical skills. Combining techniques like mindfulness, introspection, and evidence-based methods such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, therapy becomes a space for growth and clarity. Together, we'll explore patterns, address challenges, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change in a supportive environment.
