Taking the first step toward therapy can stir up a wide range of emotions; uncertainty, hope, fear, curiosity, or even relief. My intention is to offer you a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I aim to understand the world through your perspective and honor the unique context you bring. Here, you are encouraged to show up authentically, reflect deeply, and engage in meaningful conversations that support your personal growth. My hope is that you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.
I value building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, openness, and curiosity. My approach is collaborative and integrative, using evidence-based strategies tailored to you. I have experience supporting teens and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and perinatal mood concerns.
If you’re here, you’ve already taken an important first step in your healing journey. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you; providing support, encouragement, and guidance as you grow into the healthiest version of yourself. As Brené Brown said, “If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.”

I work with clients who may be struggling with a variety of mental health-related concerns. During our initial session, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a treatment plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back on track. Many of my clients see a gradual decrease in symptoms within the first few sessions & sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and identify the most effective approaches to support your goals. With DBT, we focus on building skills in areas like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Throughout treatment, I'll help you learn how to manage intense emotions,
