I work with adults age 20 and over, and people often describe me as accepting, empathetic, and real — with a sense of humor that helps therapy feel approachable and genuine. My goal is to create a space where you feel both supported and challenged as you work toward your goals. My approach blends humor, honesty, and evidence-based strategies to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns (like cognitive distortions) and promote self-acceptance. Whether you’re hoping to manage stress, improve relationships, or reconnect with your sense of worth, I offer a safe, affirming space to do meaningful work — and maybe even share a laugh along the way. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. If something here resonates with you, send me a message — I’d be happy to talk about how we can work together.

Changing the way we interact with others can greatly impact our daily functioning, reduce our stress, and improve our relationships with the people in our lives.

Welcome — You Deserve to Feel Safe and Heard If you’re here, you might be feeling scared to reach out. Maybe you’re worried about being judged, or afraid you’ll end up with a therapist who only asks, “And how does that make you feel?” without truly helping. You may be: Feeling overwhelmed or like it’s hard to breathe. Carrying tightness in your chest from constant worry. Struggling with hopelessness and the sense that life is always against you. Hearing others dismiss your pain, telling you that you’re “overreacting.” Facing challenges in your relationship—whether it’s conflict, thoughts of divorce, or infidelity. Working through identity concerns (gender, body image, or self-worth). Feeling pressure to be perfect, or feeling angry, stuck, and stressed without healthy coping tools. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know: you are not alone, and help is possible. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal.

Change is hard, but when it’s needed, you feel it. Marital strain, career dissatisfaction, or lingering pain from the past can leave you feeling stuck, even when you know something has to shift. Taking those first steps toward change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to gain clarity, process emotions, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. Healing becomes possible when you have an empathetic and attuned witness to your story; someone who helps you uncover insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and find new ways forward. I’ve worked in a variety of settings as a counselor, educator, and clinical supervisor, and I’m passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My approach is collaborative, emotioanlly-focused, practical, and rooted in respect for each person’s unique journey. If you’re ready to do the inner work; to feel more grounded, balanced, connected, and fulfilled- therapy can help you get there. Prioritize yourself. This is your moment for growth.
