I'm a therapist who believes deeply in meeting people exactly where they are, especially when life feels messy, confusing, or painful. I work with clients to help them untangle emotional knots, clarify what truly matters to them, and build lives rooted in authenticity and self-respect. I work with adults navigating emotionally intense or complex relationships, people processing betrayal or chronic disappointment, and those learning to reclaim their identity after long periods of emotional suppression. I’m especially attuned to those who carry a lot on their shoulders and feel unseen or emotionally overextended.

Life is a beautiful journey that can be unpredictable, stressful, and overwhelming at times. Sometimes these stressors are difficult to cope with on our own. My work is dedicated to helping individuals cope with life challenges, live healthy, happy, productive lives, and find healing for optimum mental health and wellness. Embarking on a healing journey is exciting, but I also know this can be an anxiety provoking decision. You are not alone in this journey! The therapeutic relationship is an integral part of the healing process. Everyone deserves a safe, confidential space that leads to healing change.
