Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating it alone. I aim to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore your experiences with honesty and compassion.

While I do not adhere to any modality in its entirety, I pull different pieces from different modalities to create an individualized approach for each patient based on preferences and presenting problems. I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a strong, trusting relationship. When you feel safe enough to show up authentically and embrace vulnerability, real change becomes possible. Our work together can serve as a model for building healthier boundaries, deeper self-awareness, and more fulfilling connections.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, family conflict, and life transitions. My style is often described as compassionate, affirming, and down-to-earth.

Patients often cite the way that I reframe issues as beneficial as well as providing an unconditionally supportive space to work through concerns. I incorporate a fair amount of humor into my sessions, and enjoy laughing with my patients. I believe my relational approach allows patients to feel more comfortable opening up.
