Life gets messy. Stress builds, things shift, and suddenly it’s hard to find your footing. I work with individuals who are feeling anxious, down, stuck, or just not like themselves. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, a space to talk things through, figure things out and get support without judgment. I have experience across various levels of care and a down-to-earth style that makes it easier to show up as you are. We’ll do the work together, one step at a time.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, identity development, and life transitions. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and process-oriented therapy, I tailor sessions to your unique needs. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

If life’s feeling heavy or you’re just not sure what’s next, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and figure things out, at your pace. I’m here to listen, support, and walk with you through whatever you’re facing. Reach out when you’re ready.
