You’re not broken, and seeking support doesn’t mean you should feel ashamed. Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, scary, or overwhelming, and if you’re here, you’ve already shown courage. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, or postpartum changes and wondering how to move forward. My goal is not to fix you, but to meet you where you are, provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space, and help you explore practical ways to build clarity, confidence, and resilience, gain tools to stay grounded, manage intense emotions, and discover approaches that fit your life.
I help clients explore emotions, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and find motivation to move forward. I support individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, postpartum challenges, trauma, and life transitions while helping them develop coping strategies and practical steps to feel more capable and confident. I provide culturally aware, inclusive care.
Finding the right therapist matters. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space and provide a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if working together feels comfortable. I offer consultations and sessions Monday–Friday, 9:30 AM–4:30 PM (Tuesdays unavailable), with limited Saturday availability.

I focus on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help clients better understand themselves. Therapy includes learning tools to manage emotions, cope with stress, and shift patterns that no longer serve you, while building motivation and confidence to move forward at your own pace that feels realistic and meaningful.
