Many people appear fine on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in painful patterns. I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma responses, people-pleasing, and low self-worth. My approach is warm, direct, and practical. Therapy with me is collaborative and focused on helping you gain insight, build healthier patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
We’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. From there, we will talk about what’s bringing you in, what you want to change, and create a plan together. My goal is to help you feel more confident, improve your relationships, and build a life that feels more fulfilling.
Taking the first step toward therapy isn't always easy, and you do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. If you're ready for support, change, or simply a place to be heard, I would be honored to help you take that next step.

If you are unsure if therapy is covered by insurance, will figure it out together. I accept many insurance plans and take FSA/HSA payment. We can verify your benefits and discuss costs before starting, so there are no surprises. Give me a call or an email and we can explore options together.
