I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions, helping them better understand themselves, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful change. Drawing from both professional and life experience, I understand that healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Together, we'll focus on your strengths while finding practical solutions that support lasting growth and well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to help you feel comfortable from the very beginning. During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. I'll invite you to share the challenges you're facing, what's been working (or not working), and what you hope will be different in your life. This session is also an opportunity for me to learn more about your unique experiences, strengths, and support systems so I can understand how to best support you. Together, we'll identify your goals for therapy and begin creating a plan that feels realistic, meaningful, and tailored to your needs. I view therapy as a collaborative process, so you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where your voice and input matter. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer understanding of how we'll work together and the next steps toward creating the changes you're seeking.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to balance empathy with honest feedback. I believe there are times when people need a safe space to process, feel heard, and simply be supported. There are also times when growth requires gentle challenges, new perspectives, and practical strategies. My approach is tailored to what you need in the moment. Clients often describe me as approachable, collaborative, and honest. I bring curiosity, authenticity, and a strengths-based perspective to our work together, helping you recognize what's already working while building skills to address what's not. My goal isn't to tell you what to do- it's to help you better understand yourself, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to make therapy feel both supportive and productive, so you leave sessions feeling understood, empowered, and equipped with tools you can use in everyday life.
