I believe that healing happens through connection—within the therapeutic relationship and our relationships with loved ones and others in our daily lives. My approach combines evidence-based practices with compassion and humor, grounded in a systemic lens.
I work well with individuals and families who feel stuck or strained in their relationships, whether romantic, familial, or peer-related. I often support clients navigating anxiety or depression, as well as concerns related to attention, emotional regulation, or past experiences. I enjoy helping clients process emotions and set realistic goals that support meaningful change.
I have experience working with families and couples, in addition to individual clients. I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and safety, creating space for open and honest communication. This approach is especially helpful when working with adolescents and teens who may feel uncertain about engaging in therapy.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to navigate that alone. I invite you to reach out to schedule a 30-minute consultation to see if we may be a good fit. I’m happy to answer questions and offer guidance. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my work.
