We all stumble sometimes— it's a part of being human. Feelings like anxiety, despair, anger, grief, and loneliness aren’t signs that something is “wrong”; they’re natural, understandable responses to the complexity of being alive. Therapy offers a space to feel seen in these experiences and invites you to explore what a life of meaning might look like for you. Your presence, exactly as you are, is all that’s required to get started.
I take a generalist approach, which means I work with many types of challenges. Whatever brings you here, we can work through it together. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel safe to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement, so you can better understand yourself, feel more at ease, and create meaningful change.
With an open heart, directness, and a bit of humor, I will gently invite you to try new ways of thinking and being. Together, we’ll unpack your story, figure out what’s working (and what’s not), and help you move toward the life you actually want. Feel free to reach out— I'm here to help.

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, shame, addiction, relationship issues, and trauma. Clients often tell me that what helps the most isn't just the tools we use; it's the trust, connection, and support they feel in the relationship we've built together.
