Is life leaving you feeling stressed, anxious, and down? You deserve a space where you feel supported, heard, and understood, especially when life feels overwhelming. Therapy can help you gain clarity, resolve conflict, and help you get “unstuck.” Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, there is a path to discovering peace and reaching your goals. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals across the lifespan, I help people develop coping skills, realize and employ their strengths, and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.
I provide a client-centered, collaborative approach utilizing interventions that are specifically tailored to your unique needs. Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain about the future, I’m here to support you.
My focus is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to reach your goals. I would love to work together to create a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, peaceful, and calm. If you’re ready to get started, let’s collaborate and work together to reach your goals.

While I don't currently take insurance, many insurance panels will reimburse clients who see an "out of network" provider. I provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance to help with reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, I'm happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
