Simply put, life is hard. We are often dealt an undesirable hand or have unfortunate curve balls thrown at us, making aspects of life confusing and overwhelming. My goal is to walk beside each client as they learn how to navigate the tougher experiences, setbacks, and uncertainties. Each client I see is treated as unique and treatment is centered around their own personal experiences, preferences, and personal goals. My approach is extremely client-centered and collaborative, where clients have the opportunity to take control of their life and have a say in their treatment.

I began my career as a school counselor, and have been in private practice since 2009. I enjoy working with people on an individual basis to guide them toward processing and change. My philosophy of counseling is to meet clients in the space in which they are ready, and help them find where they want to be. My history as a counselor includes working with parent/child relationships, couples and individuals to create more effective communication patterns. I enjoy working with clients as young as 10, through the lifespan.

Welcome! If you’re scrolling profiles at 11pm wondering when life got so loud in your head, you’re in good company. I work with pre-teens to adults, couples, and families who feel tangled in anxiety, conflict, loss, burnout, or relationship loops that don’t match who they want to be anymore. Therapy with me is about real conversations, real tools, and real relief—paired with humor when it lightens the load and direct guidance when you need the nudge. No one-size-fits-all path here, just space to breathe, understand your patterns, and move forward feeling steadier in yourself and your relationships.

I enjoy working with ambitious, high-functioning individuals who appear to manage life well but feel blocked from reaching their full potential. Many of my clients are motivated to grow yet struggle with sadness, overwhelm, mood changes, and/or sleep difficulties, often describing themselves as feeling 'stuck.' In our work together, I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and empowering space to uncover barriers and build the tools, clarity, and confidence needed to heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self.

When life feels hard to hold together — worry won’t let you rest, old hurts keep showing up, or you’re quietly asking, what’s next? — it can feel exhausting and isolating. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, and major life transitions often show up during times of change, even when you’re functioning on the outside. Therapy offers a steady, supportive space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and move forward with greater clarity, grounding, and self-compassion.
