Hello, I am taking new patients! If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in self-criticism, or disconnected from others, you’re not alone. Through a person-centered lens, my approach is collaborative, grounded in compassion and respect for your lived experience. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and direct—with a focus on empowerment and self-compassion. My role isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to support you in uncovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more aligned and authentic. I believe the most integral component in the therapeutic process is the moment a client feels understood.
I work with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and more. I integrate individualized, evidence-based practices to forge a path towards growth. Whether you're seeking short-term strategies or deep, long-term healing, we’ll tailor your care to fit your goals.
Please give us a call, send us an email, or visit our website for more information. Let us know if you need a free 10–15-minute phone consult. Looking forward to working with you!

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help my patients accept difficult emotions and align their actions with their core values. I also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support engagement in mindfulness and improved distress tolerance. Together, these approaches support patients in reducing their symptoms within just a few sessions.
