I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and evidence-based tools to help you navigate life’s challenges. As a thoughtful and committed counselor, I strive to help each person move through adversity with greater psychological flexibility and emotional strength. I use a multimodal approach, tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs and creating a collaborative environment built on trust, care, and respect. While I offer professional guidance, our work together is collaborative because you are the expert of your own experience. I see my role as helping you organize the chaos, uncover clarity, and support your growth.

Patients often tell me that what sets me apart is that I don’t just sit back and do “traditional talk therapy.” Instead of simply listening without direction, I actively offer tools, perspectives, and practical strategies that help patients understand themselves and make meaningful changes. They appreciate that I am both warm and direct. They’ve expressed feeling understood and supported while also feeling appropriately challenged in ways that encouraged real growth.

My own experiences with mental health challenges in childhood, especially feeling unheard, have shaped the way I show up as a therapist. I am here to make sure you feel seen, valued, and supported as we work together to explore your story, strengthen your resilience, and promote lasting healing.

Personal Interests

I’m a bit of a word nerd! I love learning the meaning and origin of language. I’m also a huge movie buff and coffee lover (an iced caramel oat milk latte is my go-to). I’m a big dog person and share my home with my dachshund, Ruby. In my free time, I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts to keep learning and stay inspired.
