I’m a therapist who works with clients navigating life stressors, anxiety, low mood, ADHD, burnout, low energy, and feeling stuck or unmotivated. I also understand that sometimes the things affecting us run deeper like family dynamics, relationship patterns, and the unresolved experiences we carry with us. My approach is warm, compassionate, and honest. I provide a space where you can be yourself without judgment while also being challenged to look at what may be holding you back. Together, we’ll work toward healing, developing practical coping skills, and creating meaningful steps forward so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

By the end of our time together, you’ll have gained the skills to better navigate life’s ups and downs, fostering a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment.

First session

Your first session is about getting to know each other and seeing whether we’re a good fit. We’ll take time to talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, your expectations, and what you’re hoping to get out of the process. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, this is a space to be honest about where you are and where you want to go. I also want you to know that therapy is a collaborative relationship. I’m not for everyone, and neither are you, and that’s okay! Come to your first session with questions for me, too. I want you to feel comfortable asking about my approach, what you can expect, and anything else that matters to you. Together, we’ll determine whether this feels like the right space to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, honesty, and genuine connection.

Strengths

I bring warmth, honesty, and a judgment-free approach to every session. I’m intentional about creating a space where you can be real about what you’re experiencing without feeling like you have to filter yourself or have all the answers. I also bring curiosity, compassion, and directness. I won’t just tell you what you want to hear. I’ll help you look at patterns, challenge what may be keeping you stuck, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change. Most importantly, I see therapy as a partnership. I’ll meet you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be.

Ideal clients

My ideal client is someone who is ready to be honest about where they are, even if they’re not quite sure where to go from here. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, emotionally drained, or frustrated with patterns that seem to keep repeating. You may be navigating ADHD, low mood, relationship or family challenges, or simply trying to figure out how to move forward. You don’t have to have it all together, and you don’t have to know exactly what you need from therapy. What matters most is a willingness to show up, be open, ask questions, and do the work. I work best with clients who want a therapist who is warm and compassionate, but also honest, direct, and willing to challenge them when needed.

So I’ve had many therapists in my life to a young child and to an adult and I would say by far she is the best therapist I’ve had in a very, very long time. I love her warmth, her spirit, and just overall, I feel heard by her and when we talk so I recommend her 10 out of 10.
