I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without judgment—and begin exploring what they need in order to feel better, more balanced, and more like themselves.
I see therapy as a collaborative process: we work together to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and to develop practical, realistic strategies that help you move forward.

Life is sometimes overwhelmingly heavy. The seemingly random moments of increased heart rate and shortness of breath. The feeling of drowning (and sometimes floating) that fogs your mind. The inability to make a clear decision - or just rushing through a decision because you can’t think clearly anyway. The having to backtrack because “Wait..what just happened?” The lack of appetite and sleepless nights. The increased appetite and the deepest sleep after the tears. It's all just exhausting. How much would you treasure having a clear mind again?

There are many aspects of life that pull us away from our authentic selves. You might be feeling lost, confused, or disconnected and hoping to find a way to connect with yourself and others, but not sure how or where to start. Many of us are motivated to explore our identities and life purpose, especially during times of change and transition, and that can be a scary journey. Individual, relationship, and group counseling are great opportunities to allow yourself to actively take a step toward connection and fulfillment.

I specialize in helping women who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions. I also work with athletes who want to strengthen their mental performance, whether that means managing pressure, coping with mistakes, building confidence, or navigating life after sports.
My own path into mental health began during my collegiate volleyball career, when I saw firsthand how many people struggle with their emotional well-being. Recognizing the difference it made to show up for myself and ask for help, inspired me to help others feel heard, understood, and empowered in this sometimes crazy world.

When you look at life through a narrative lens, you're the main character, and with that starring role comes unforeseen plot twists & turns, as well as the opportunity to edit out unhealthy habits, process past chapters, and start new ones. I believe there’s power in re-authoring your story, and embracing what's still unwritten, especially when you hold the pen. The narrative approach not piquing your interest? Not a problem. Counseling should be a collaborative process and together we'll find the right modality to fit your needs, whether it's CBT, DBT-informed, expressive arts, mindfulness, etc - or an eclectic mix.
