I believe you are the expert on your own life. As your therapist, I offer a supportive, outside perspective to help you reframe challenges, explore solutions, and build tools for real-life growth. My style is direct yet kind—I’ll be honest with you while also offering encouragement. I integrate evidence-based strategies and focus on teaching skills you can use in your day-to-day life. Everyone deserves the chance to thrive, and I’m here to help you reach your fullest potential.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by combining empathy with evidence-based approaches. I draw from CBT, Internal Family Systems, ACT, DBT, Sports Psychology and more to tailor each session to your goals. My aim is to create a supportive, safe space to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful, lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s normal to have questions or feel unsure. My approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and collaboration—I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward growth.
