I work with college students and adults navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions of identity or meaning. My approach is rooted in a humanistic, interpersonal, and existential perspective—meaning I see you as a whole person, not a set of symptoms. Together, we’ll explore your inner world, how you relate to others, and what unfolds directly between us in the room. Our relationship becomes a safe, real-time space to not only understand your patterns, but to actively practice new, healthier ways of connecting, allowing you to process life's bigger questions and step into a more authentic life.
I strive to bring a genuine curiosity to who you are and how you exist in the world, balancing compassion with the kind of challenge that supports your growth. My hope is that every session feels less like an appointment and more like a place to exhale.
Whatever brought you here, even the part you haven't said out loud yet, you don't have to carry it alone. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I'm deeply invested in helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered. When you're ready, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
