I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals and couples overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship conflict. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical—focused on helping people feel better and live more fulfilling lives. Using evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I guide clients to identify unhelpful patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and build on their strengths. Whether it’s learning to quiet anxious thoughts, navigate tough conversations, or stay focused and motivated, I work alongside each client to find what truly works for them. Change doesn’t have to take forever—and you don’t have to do it alone. With the right support, real growth is not only possible—it’s closer than you think.

Get to know me

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

Your first therapy session is all about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what brought you here. We’ll talk about what’s been going on in your life, explore what you’re hoping to work on, and begin building a connection based on trust and respect. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just come as you are. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you have, and go over things like confidentiality and scheduling. This is a chance for you to get a feel for whether you’re comfortable and whether I’m the right fit for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets me apart is my ability to blend evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy with a deeply collaborative, down-to-earth style. I don’t just focus on what’s wrong—I help you uncover what’s working, build on your strengths, and move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard and understood in our sessions. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your struggles without pressure—and without losing sight of hope. Whether we’re working on anxiety, ADHD, relationship dynamics, or finding direction in life, I meet you where you are, and we figure it out together. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. I tailor each session to fit your needs, your pace, and your goals—always with the belief that meaningful change is not only possible, but within reach.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Have you been trying to make meaningful changes, but nothing seems to stick? If you’re open to exploring new strategies and working together to find solutions, we might be a great fit. In our work together, we’ll clarify your goals and values so you can better understand what truly matters to you. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into your patterns and behaviors—insight that can help you build healthier habits, strengthen relationships, make progress in your career, or simply navigate life with more confidence and ease. This space is yours—supportive, collaborative, and focused on your growth.
