I’m so glad you’re here. You’re ready to take a step toward change, and that’s a huge win. Whether you're feeling stuck in a loop of anxiety, second-guessing yourself, or struggling with the stress life throws at you, I’m here to help. Maybe you’re trying to break free from patterns that keep holding you back or navigate parenting when you didn’t have the best role models growing up. Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or intimidating. I keep it authentic, laid-back, and focused on what works for you. I now offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy!
Whether you’re a parent wanting to connect better with your child, overwhelmed by school or work stress, in a life transition, or struggling with complex relationships, we’ll figure it out together. If you're a new or expecting parent, or a teen feeling lost, I’ve got your back and will help you find your way forward. I treat anxiety, depression, and OCD.
It won’t always feel this way. Together, we’ll build the skills to manage life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and challenge negative beliefs. Ready to live more fully and in line with your true values? Let’s take that step toward healing together.

I work with clients who are struggling with their self-worth, relationships, life-transitions, stress, anxiety, and depression. During our initial sessions, we will spend time exploring the challenges that brought you to therapy. Together, we will create a plan to address them in a way that feels right to you. Most of my clients experience a gradual decrease of symptoms within the first month.

In some sessions, clients that are interested, will find themselves engaging in creative, experiential interventions such as collage, painting, drawing, clay, and journaling. We will process these experiences together to gain insight, exploring a bit deeper than traditional talk therapy sometimes takes us. I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
