Choosing to begin therapy is a personal decision, and I’m here to support you as you take that step. My aim is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I approach therapy with openness and empathy, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique—and that you may be stronger and more capable than you give yourself credit for.
I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities because I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all solution in therapy. My background includes working with adolescents (14+) and adults navigating challenges such as life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.
I take a collaborative and transparent approach, working alongside you to set goals and foster meaningful growth. If you're looking for a safe and supportive space to better understand yourself and move forward, I’d be honored to be part of that journey with you. I offer both in person and telehealth (online) options.
