If your brain is always running, you overthink things, or you feel mentally exhausted even when life looks “fine” from the outside, therapy can help. I work best with thoughtful, self-aware adults struggling with anxiety, ADHD, burnout, depression, stress, relationship patterns, or life transitions. My style is calm, grounded, and conversational. I am not a performative therapist, and I believe many people already understand coping skills intellectually but still need a space to slow down, process openly, and feel genuinely understood. Therapy with me focuses on insight, emotional clarity, self-awareness, and understanding patterns more deeply. I offer telehealth therapy for young adults who want a thoughtful, low-pressure space to process openly and better understand what may be keeping them stuck. I tend to work best with clients who are reflective, insight-oriented, and open to exploring patterns at a deeper level.
During the first session, this is your chance to get a feel for my style and see whether we are a good fit. I tend to bring a calm, grounded, and conversational presence into sessions. I allow space for clients to process openly without feeling rushed, talked over, or pressured to “perform” in therapy. My approach is collaborative rather than overly scripted or rigid. I focus less on perfect coping skills or surface-level positivity and more on helping clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and emotionally safe enough to explore what is actually going on beneath the surface. I work especially well with clients who are insightful, reflective, and wanting support in understanding patterns, emotions, relationships, burnout, anxiety, or self-criticism on a deeper level. I can help you connect patterns between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses in a way that feels practical and meaningful rather than overly clinical. I am supportive, but I am also honest and direct when needed. If you are constantly hard on yourself, minimizing your feelings, or stuck in unhealthy patterns, I will gently challenge that with compassion and accountability.
One of the strongest predictors of successful therapy is not how many certifications a therapist has or how polished they sound — it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where clients feel genuinely understood, emotionally safe, and able to be fully themselves without fear of judgment. Clients often describe me as calm, insightful, grounded, direct, and easy to talk to. I am especially skilled at recognizing patterns, helping clients organize overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and balancing empathy with practical feedback and accountability. I work best with thoughtful, self-aware clients who are looking for a therapist that feels human, collaborative, and authentic rather than overly clinical or performative.
My ideal client is someone who is open to engaging in therapy in an honest, collaborative way. I work especially well with reflective, insight-oriented clients who want to better understand themselves, recognize patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping and functioning. I am neurodivergent, and my therapy style tends to be more conversational and natural rather than overly scripted or robotic. I do best with clients who are willing to give me something to work with and are open to processing thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life patterns together in a meaningful way. My approach balances empathy with practicality. I am supportive and compassionate, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will absolutely have your back, while also gently holding you accountable to the goals you set for yourself. Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It is about helping you better understand yourself and move toward a life that feels healthier, more authentic, and more manageable. You are in the driver’s seat here. Sessions are collaborative, and your goals, values, and comfort level matter. No need to perform or wear a mask in therapy with me. You can show up exactly as you are.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My work is strongly rooted in person-centered therapy, emphasizing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their experiences. I prioritize collaboration, empathy, and respect for each client's autonomy, allowing sessions to be guided by what feels most relevant and meaningful to them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate CBT strategies to help clients identify patterns between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In practice, I use CBT flexibly within a conversational, client-led framework, focusing on increasing awareness, challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, and developing practical coping strategies that align with each client's goals and values.
