Clients say this provider is
I provide straightforward, collaborative therapy for adults and adolescents who are ready to actively engage in the process. My style is warm, direct, and practical, with a focus on work both in and outside of sessions. I work with mild-to-moderate concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, boundaries, life transitions, self-esteem, and the impact of past experiences. I help clients better understand their patterns while building practical skills they can use in everyday life.
Our first session is a full clinical intake where we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, relevant history, current concerns, and what you’d like to change. We’ll also determine whether my approach and scope are a good fit for your needs and identify next steps for treatment. Please complete all required Grow portal tasks before your appointment so our session time can be focused on clinical care. I provide individual outpatient therapy and do not offer court-related services or formal psychological, diagnostic, disability, ADHD, autism, or other specialized evaluations or testing.
I’m not a therapist who will simply nod along for 50 minutes. I’ll listen, validate what needs validating, ask direct questions, identify patterns, and respectfully challenge you when something may be keeping you stuck. My approach combines compassion with accountability. There are no cookie-cutter solutions here. We’ll work together to understand not only what you’re feeling, but why certain patterns keep showing up, what may be keeping them going, and what you can realistically begin doing differently in your everyday life.
I work best with adolescents and adults who want more than a place to vent. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, struggle with boundaries or self-esteem, or be navigating grief, depression, the impact of past experiences, or a major life transition. You do not need to have everything figured out, but you should be willing to show up consistently, reflect honestly, practice new skills, and actively participate in your treatment.

I use CBT to help clients recognize connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and recurring patterns. We identify what may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies for responding differently. I use CBT collaboratively rather than as a one-size-fits-all worksheet approach, incorporating insight, skill-building, and real-life application.
I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak openly and be understood without judgment. I believe clients are the experts on their own experiences, while my role includes helping you notice patterns, asking difficult questions when needed, and supporting meaningful change. Empathy and accountability can exist in the same room.
I use a trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, choice, collaboration, and respect for each client’s boundaries. We explore how past experiences may influence current emotions, relationships, beliefs, and coping patterns without forcing disclosure or trauma processing. The goal is to build stability, awareness, and practical tools while moving at a clinically appropriate pace.

She was intuitive but ultimately a bit nonchalant and abrasive for what I was searching for.

She has always been an excellent listener & was also able to put a bit of humor & perspective into her sessions with me.

Caring. Holds space for you. But also calls you to get off your butt and believe in you. Everything is done with humor. She helps you see that the world doesn't suck. And also doesn't let you repeat negative patterns for yourself.
